More high speed options
Right around this time last year Toshiba was finalizing the buyout of OCZ, which had found itself in bankruptcy proceedings. Toshiba saw an opportunity to pair its NAND flash memory business with OCZs solid state storage operations, and because of that, OCZ continues to pump out interesting solutions. One of those is the new RevoDrive 400.
The RevoDrive 400 is an NVM Express M.2 SSD. It uses a Toshiba controller paired with 15nm multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory and is rated to deliver read and write speeds of up to 2.4GB/s and 1.6GB/s, respectively, along with up to 1TB of capacity on a single M.2 module.
OCZ paraded the new drive at CES last week. What they had on display was the drive plugged into a PCI Express Gen 3 x4 adapter card. It will be available with or without the adapter, though exactly when and for how much is something thats yet to be revealed.
In addition to the RevoDrive 400, OCZ also introduced its new Trion 150, a SATA 6Gbps SSD. It also uses 15nm MLC chips from Toshiba, upgrade over the 19nm chips found on the Trion 100, and is rated to deliver up to 500MB/s for both reads and writes.
As with the RevoDrive 400, OCZ hasnt yet revealed a release date or pricing information for the Trion 150.
