OCZ have just announced their 32 and 64GB SATA II SSDs which is the good news, the bad news is they forgot to tell us the prices and release dates.
Anyway the OCZ SATA II drive works great with the performance of high-end notebooks for example and are apparently brilliant for energy-efficient mobile computing.
The 32GB and 64GB have premier speeds of 120MB/s read and 100MB/s write and are able to enhance productivity in your everyday computing and intensive multi-tasking applications. The design looks damn good as well which features a lightweight durable brushed alloy casing.
There are no moving parts which mean great for mishandling; these SSDs have an excellent two million hour mean time before failure.
If you are reading this OCZ, please give us dates and prices.
OCZ to launch Neural Impulse Actuator “brain mouse”
After OCZ’s demonstration of the device at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas two competitors Neurosky and Emotiv have prepared to release their own brain-controlled mice to consumers, upping the ante for OCZ.
It’s said that OCZ are feeling the heat and is at last bringing its Neural Impulse Actuator to market.
The device is essentially a brain controlled mouse, relying on Electroencephalogram (EEG) readings of the brain’s alpha and beta waves. Users can configure thresholds to activate certain actions, allow users to have much more delicate control than in their competitors.
It’s said that users adapting to the brain mouse will face a steep learning curve but once employed, the mouse brings up to a 60 percent reduction in the time needed to react, according to OCZ. A brain-to-eye muscle reaction is significantly faster.
OCZ promises that average users will be able to begin to use the device within hours after some initial practice.
The device, which goes into weproduction next ek, should retail for $300 USD.
