The 1 Terabyte SSD Arrives

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-should-be-enough dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Over recent years Solid State Drives (SSDs) have moved from luxury to affordable additions to one's PC, but mechanical hard drives are still king when it comes to capacity. That was until the revamped Colossus LT series Solid State Drive came along this week. With up to 1TB, the drive offers offers massive storage capacities of the level normally not seen in SSDs. While 1TB of SSD space hits right at the heart of the traditional hard disk market, it comes at a high price — at around $4,000 for the 1TB model, these drives are in the realm of aspirational rather than practical."

    This sucker's electrical. But I need a nuclear reaction to compress the data to the 1 terabyte of capacity I need.

    And it is awesome. My MacBook Pro flies. I've also lost a lot of weight since I don't have money for food anymore. Highly recommended.
