After Imation and Intel announced their first solid state drives for notebooks, OCZ comes into the spotlight by announcing its next-gen drives, and if "next-gen" is not enough, then let me say they claim these new drives to be twice as fast as their predecessors! Now, that's pretty interesting, don't you think?

For this second-generation SSDs, OCZ moved from SATA-I to SATA-II, to accomodate the transfer speeds of these new drives of 120 MB/s read and 100MB/s write speed. OCZ's previous SSDs were only available in one model - a 64GB SATA drive, priced at $1200, while the new ones will be available in 32GB and 64GB, and the same 2.5-inch form factor.

Pricing looks pretty good already, and rumors say they should go down 50% in the next 9 months, but for now, OCZ's second-generation SSDs are priced at $499 - the 32GB one, and $1099 - the 64GB model.
