One of the premier computer hardware manufacturing companies, OCZ has announced the launch  of its latest high capacity solid state hard drives that come in 128 GB and 1 TB (Terabytes) storage capacity. These new SSDs are part of the all new Colossus series from OCZ. The speculations about the high capacity solid state drives had been in circulation since the month of August this year, but the confirmation of the shipments of these components have only now been confirmed.

The all new Colossus series of solid state drives come in 3.5 inch casings and are available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage capacity and is a one step ahead of the existing 2.5 inch SSD hard drives. Even though there isn’t mention of the price range for these products, the fact remains that pricing of these products won’t be affordable for the average user as SSD hard drives are always a costly proposition.

According to Eugene Chang (V.P, Product Management, OCZ),

“The new Colossus Series is designed to boost desktop and workstation performance and is for high power users that put a premium on speed, reliability and maximum storage capacity. The Colossus core-architecture is also available to enterprise clients with locked BOMs (build of materials) and customized firmware to match their unique applications.”

The newly launched OCZ high capacity SSD hard drives are also a perfect fit for the original equipment manufactures (OEM) as they now have a hos of options to provide their customers with.

If you had been waiting for the ultimate gaming PCs, well you are close to getting them for HP has broken the secret about their eventual releases. HP announced the launch the Firebird 802 and 803 both of which are VoodooDNA enabled gaming PCS. The systems pack in quad-core CPU and 2MXM graphics cards. HP has taken a step like no other for they will directly be competing against Dell and OEM.

The only problem with the Firebird is the lack of expandability. The prices are expected to hover around $2,000. Looks like they have understood that style is certainly important but price is more important. Apparently, the PCs are also not power hungry and are quite energy efficient making them green and sustainable. The PCs also come with Blu-ray, 4GB RAM, 640GB of storage and many other features.

All this makes Firebird a pleasant surprise and something that many people would look forward to buy. HP certainly has hit the right note among gamers and it may perhaps be only a matter of time before HP starts making in roads into the gaming world and even rule it.
