OCZ SSDs at 400GB and 480GB

OCZ Technology Group, Inc. introduced new high-capacity Vertex 2 and Agility 2 SATA II 2.5" Solid State Drives. The lines now include 400GB and 480GB models, making the Vertex 2 and Agility 2 an SSD option for clients who don’t want to be constrained by storage limitations.

"Solid State Drives have long delivered on exceptional performance and reliability but capacity has been a barrier to adoption for some clients," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of the OCZ Technology Group. "Building on our popular Agility 2 and Vertex 2 SSD lines our new high capacity models give customers up to 480GB of storage space allowing them to enjoy all the benefits of SSDs with plenty of room for even the largest applications and files, making this the ideal solution for customers that place a premium on speed, reliability and capacity."

With double the storage of the existing models, the 400GB and 480GB editions facilitate a more responsive PC experience while providing ample room for a multitude of applications and files. The new higher capacity Vertex 2 and Agility 2 not only deliver the faster boot up and shut downs, but offer extensive space for the latest operating systems, game titles, and programs for shorter load times and snappier performance compared to mechanical hard drives.

Both Vertex 2 and Agility 2 400GB editions feature 250MB/s read and 240MB/s write speeds, with higher 4k random writes up to 22,500 IOPS on the Vertex 2 Series. Built with SATA 3Gb/s, the drives integrate into today’s desktop and mobile platforms and feature TRIM support for Windows 7 systems.

Vertex 2 and Agility 2 Series will now ship with these latest capacities, and come backed by a 3-year warranty.
