“The new Vertex 2 and Agility 2 SSD lines are an excellent solution for customers who are looking for improved transfer rates and best-in-class input/output per second (IOPS) for a wide range of uses, ranging from entertainment to workstation and tier 2 storage applications,” explained OCZ CEO Ryan Petersen.
“Additionally, this new product line highlights our continuing determination to be the market leader in the high reliability memory and flash-based storage market.”
The drives are expected to be available over the next few weeks in 50GB, 100GB, 200GB and 400GB capacities.
