OCZ came rolling into CES this year with a pile of SSDs in tow. Most are pretty firmly aimed at the enterprise market but, what's impressive, is how the company has made sure to cover practically every interface . If you're looking to fill up some PCIe slots, the Z-Drive R5 and are R4 CloudServ have you covered. The former is based on the Kilimanjaro platform, designed with help from Marvell, and can deliver a staggering 2.52 million IOPS and 7.2GB/s. The latter is an evolution of the existing R4 line, but with nearly double the performance in a card that can carry up to 16TB of solid state storage. If rack-mount servers are more your style, the SATA 3.0-packing Chiron delivers a respectable 560MB/s and 100,000 IOPS in a 3.5-inch package. The most exciting item, at least for consumers, is the Lightfoot -- an external, compact SSD ready to take over your under-utilized Thunderbolt port. Lightfoot will be available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB sizes, though, price and release dates are still very much up in the air. Check out the gallery below and complete PR (with a few more products) after the break.

Now lets hope they are actually reliable..
I'd hate for the SSD drive to die in few months.
 
yah OCZ's rep for SSD's havent been to great, but i am willing to give them a try, only after someone else tries them first :p
 
I'm trying one right now ,I will update with any problems,not too much improvment over my raptor as far as speed.
 
I have been running the crucial M4 (120gb) for 8 days now, so far I am getting all suggested speeds... I will never go back to a mechanical drive, ever. It takes longer to post, than to boot windows, yes please!
 
ive got an ocz vertex 30 gb ssd for my os, its definately like the lowest one you can get lol, its not much faster than my 2tb 6gbps sata3.0. but for what it is, its pretty damn fast, on a side note, i had to reformat it once already and reinstall win7 and it actually boots a little slower now. i was getting full boot into windows in under 30 seconds now im at about 35-40 seconds. i want to buy a newer, bigger and better one once the prices drop. also, hwo many times can you reinstall win7 before they stop you?
