OCZ Announces Turbo Vertex MLC SSD Coming Soon with 278MB/s Read

One of our readers directed me to a thread over at OCZ this morning where it seems that Tony from OCZ has announced a new Turbo Vertex Series is about to launch. Tony confirmed that the new ‘Turbo’ drives will feature up to 278MB/s read and 213MB/s write speeds thanks to using hand picked MLC Nand Flash and controllers. He also goes on to say that it will be around 10% faster than Vertex and 10% or so more expensive. The drives should get to OCZ next week, so expect more information on this new series once Tony posts more information up about it!
