OCZ has just announced its new Core series SATA II 2.5" solid state drives, which will be available in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities.

Here’s what they had to say:

“OCZ Technology Group, Inc., a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high reliability memory and computer components, today unveiled the OCZ Core Series SATA II 2.5” Solid State Drives (SSDs). OCZ has gained momentum in this pioneering technology, which uses NAND flash instead of rotating platters as the storage medium, and is a high-performance, highly reliable and energy-efficient alternative to conventional hard disc drives.

The OCZ Core Series delivers the performance and reliability of the latest SSDs at a 50% less price per gigabyte than other high speed offerings currently on the market. For the first time, OCZ is putting SSD technology within reach of the average consumer, and delivering on the promise of SSDs as an alternative to traditional hard drives in consumer targeted mobile applications.”

Promising 120-143 MB/s read speeds and 80-93 MB/s write speeds, the Core series has very respectable performance numbers. It is also priced significantly lower than the competition with MSRPs of USD $169, $259 and $479 for the 32GB, 64GB and 128GB models.
