OCZ Onyx SSD

OCZ puts forth its latest alternative to HDDs in the form of the OCZ Onyx SATA II 2.5” Solid State Drive (SSD) Series. It’s an ultra-affordable Multi Level Cell (MLC)-based solid state storage solution which has been designed for all those looking to take advantage of flash-based storage technology.

This faster and more durable alternative to traditional hard drives is cost-efficient while Onyx also delivers reliable performance, eliminating the high price tag that comes along with SSD drives.

“As new technologies become available, OCZ continues to expand both our enterprise and consumer SSD lines, and one of our goals is to make SSDs more affordable to end-users. Our new Onyx series SSD does exactly that and is a perfect solution for netbooks, laptops, or home desktop PCs,” commented Ryan Petersen, CEO of the OCZ Technology Group. “Designed to offer the best of both worlds, the new OCZ Onyx SSD delivers the speed and reliability of solid state storage to mainstream consumers at an aggressive price point that makes the technology more accessible to customers who want to take advantage of all the benefits of the SSDs without incurring the high cost normally associated with the solution.”

The Onyx 32GB SSD comes with a sub 100 dollar MRSP and offers an enhanced computing experience with faster application loading, snappier data access, shorter boot-ups, and longer battery life. Onyx SSDs bundle up HDD-dominating access times, up to 125MB/s read and 70MB/s write speeds, 64MB of onboard cache, and unique performance optimization that enables the drives at peak performance.

OCZ Onyx SSD drives pack in a durable yet lightweight housing. The SSDs are more rugged with no moving parts. Initially in 32GB capacity, the Onyx state drives can be used as a boot up drive or for mobile PCs and netbooks.

Onyx SSDs feature 1.5 million hour mean time between failure (MTBF). OCZ also offers a 3-year warranty and award-winning technical support.
