OCZ Releases First 1TB Laptop SSD

Posted by timothy on from the want-want-want-want dept.

Lucas123 writes "OCZ today released a new line of 2.5-in solid state drives that have up to 1TB of capacity. The new Octane SSD line is based on Indilix's new Everest flash controller, which allows it to reduce boot-up times by half over previous SSD models. The new SSD line is also selling for $1.10 to $1.30 per gigabyte of capacity, meaning you can buy the 128GB for about $166."

    Supposedly the fixed one BSOD bug a few days ago. That wouldn't be with this controller anyway, but their record isn't spotless. Then again, Intel managed a SSD blemish too so... you're seeing an industry moving at breakneck speed, just make sure yours isn't on the line.

    Not so fast!

    You can use my https://github.com/Cyberax/mdtrim/ to periodically TRIM unused space on software RAID-1 on Linux (ext3/4 are supported right now).

    Extending it for RAID-0/5/6 is not hard, but right now I don't have time for this.
