They say that choice is a good thing, and in terms of solid state drives, OCZ offers plenty of it.
Joining its Solid, Core, Apex, Agility, Vertex, Vertex Turbo, Summit and Vertex EX-series drives is the new and supposedly ultra-affordable Solid 2 series.
The MLC-based drives, available in 64GB and 128GB capacities, join the existing Solid, Core and Apex series as part of OCZ's value range.
Both models make use of an Indilinx controller and feature 64MB of onboard cache. Read and write speeds, meanwhile, are listed as 125MB/s and 80MB/s, respectively, for the 64GB model, and 125MB/s and 100MB/s for the larger 128GB option.
Certainly slower than many of the SSDs we've become accustomed to, but the value of the Solid 2 series will be determined by price. Sadly, OCZ doesn't appear to be offering any actual figures just yet - though, it does state that the drives will arrive "at a price point that is truly within reach of mainstream consumers".
