OCZ unveiled Onyx series SSD

[trans am]

why do u need more than 32GB for a laptop or other non gaming box, the internet can stream down any movie or music content, most people dont have a bunch of programs.

look at what u need
7GB windows 7 or vista
2-4GB page file
1.5GB MS office
500MB codecs, tools, clients, ranodm (atleast about what i have)

so whats that like 12GB that would leave u what 18-20GB for media (depending if its GB or fake GB)

u guys are forgetting a few things, 1) XS is not the target, 2) its not a storage device its a boot device. I would get something like this for my moms laptop she has an 80GB and uses about 15GB with media, or i have some friends who use less than 20GB also on the primary drive and carry everything on the PDA/USB HDD for music or movies.

and think about the people who buy laptops in the 1st place? excatly. the ones who never defrag, and download endless crap files and bloatware and the only time their disk gets wiped is when they download some maleware and need someone with a desktop to fix it.

the more likely scenario is ocz knows 32gb ssd is totally useless and has no future but got a realy good deal on some 32gb flash and cant sell it under the well known vertex, agility branding so they just rebrand the same 32gb crap under a fancy name like Onyx. a cheap gemstone but just black and maybe elegant and easy to incorporate into commercial jewelry sold at a cart in the local mall, its still no F clarity vs1 3 carrot ascher cut diamond. if that was the case they would be 500read/300write sata III 120gb for $500 ea and brand it under the "OCZ SSD PRECIOUS GEM COLLECTION" you guys know im just kidding. im sure there is a market for these but give us something new to play with. its almost april.
