Coming later this year: At Computex, OCZ pre-announced its OCZ Colossus and Cascade SSD line - which will feature dual Indilinx controllers and a JMicron RAID chipset to deliver huge storage capacity, stunning performance, and the drop-in ease of a standard 3.5" form factor for desktop systems.

For those of us with more meager budgets and smaller needs - OCZ has revamped it's mid to 'low-end' lineup with an affordable MLC drive: Check out these prices on OCZ Agility Series SSD drives. This 'value' drive is nothing-to-sneeze-at with an improved controller chip and decent cache. Peak read performance reaches 220Mpbs altho it's write speeds are more modest - just under the Apex SSD line. The Agility series is likey to make a phase-out of the Core and Solid SSD lines highly likely as technology marches on.

Coming down the pipe: OCZ's latest SSD iteration, the OCZ Summit Series SSD pushes MLC solid state technology to the next level with a larger 128mb buffer size and using Samsung's state of the art controller chipset and NAND flash modules (vs 64mb buffer and Infilinx controller used in the already admirably performing Vertex series.)

As we've seen before in OCZ's lineup: The larger 120GB and 250GB SSD's have different, better, faster peak Write specs than the smaller 60GB model. (200Mbps writes for the larger drives vs. 125Mbps for the 60GB) -- tho all claim 220Mbps Reads. These larger size drives aren't shipping yet at Amazon.com, but the 60GB version is listed as 1-3 day shipping.
