OCZ Everest-powered Octane SSDs hits the 1TB barrier.
If only they were £100 each lol
dual core CPU? 512MB DRAM? So my hard drive can run Android now?
Why would they need this amount of processing power - or are OCZ busy trying to create a new combined cpu/memory/storage unit?Quote:
The new disks are powered by a dual-core ARM CPU and include up to 512MB of DDR3 RAM.
Bet these are going to cost £1000+ - which is waaaaaaayyyyyyyy out of my price range.
Actually what I'd like is some kind of high-capacity but not necessarily high-IOPS drive - mainly to provide a very low power/no-noise storage device for a media streaming box. Oh, and given the low IOPS requirement it'd have to be cheap - say £200 for 500MB or better, (although obviously £100 for that 500MB would be preferable).
Dreaming aside, it's nice to see "consumer" SSD's hit the 1TB mark - didn't take them long did it?! :rolleyes:
Probably something to do with all the compressing and uncompressing of files.Quote:

Might be space related. Must be challenging to pack all of that into a 2.5" frame.Quote:

Still be too expensive for me to afford though ... :undecided
