Looks like OCZ is really pushing hard for solid state disks. The firm recently came out with a new SSD series, the Apex. The latest series of SSD joins OCZ's already big solid state drives family. The Apex is a mid-range 2.5" SSD designed for people who're looking for reasonably priced SSD. According to OCZ, this cost-efficient SSD offers a reliable upgrade from traditional hard disc storage while maintaining a price point that is truly within the reach of a wide range of consumers.

The OCZ Apex Series is the result of all the latest breakthroughs in SSD technology, including new internal RAID 0 architecture, updated controller design, and speedy 230MB/sec read and 160MB/sec write speeds.

The Apex Series is ideal for energy-efficient mobile computing to extend battery life for notebooks with low power consumption, increase access time, and provide a durable alternative to conventional hard disc drives with superior shock resistance.

The OCZ Apex Series drives feature a durable yet lightweight alloy housing, and because OCZ SSDs have no moving parts, the drives are more rugged than traditional hard drives. Designed for ultimate reliability, Apex Series SSDs have an excellent 1.5 million hour mean time before failure (MTBF) ensuring peace of mind over the long term.

Apex series SSD drives are available in storage capacities of 60GB, 120GB, and 250GB.
