Hi there


Right guys OCZ have landed themselves a real gem here. They are now doing 3.5" versions of the amazing 2.5" Vertex 2E drives. These drives offer the same performance as the 2.5" models on 90-360GB sizes. Due to reduced manufacturing cost on the 3.5" means these drives mean they come in substancially cheaper. Plus the new design allows upto 480GB Capacity.

So in a nutshell:-
- Same performance as 2.5" Vertex 2E
- Increased value for money
- More suitable for desktop PC's (no need for brackets)
- YOU SAVE MONEY!
- Available upto 480GB Capacity!


So here they are:-

So if you have a desktop PC which most of you have, buy one these instead, they cost less for the same performance and are easier to install. Obviously these will not fit into laptops. ;)
 
This is awesome. Cancelled my order with competitor last week for the 2.5 version so might have to grab one. Will these be available for a while or fairly limited?
 
Ohh these look like the SSD prices I'd pay for. Who cares if the form factor is a little chubbier than the rest. I guess I better decide as to whether I should dip into my gpu funds saved and intern buy two 90g for some awesome operating system speed.
 
Seen these in the flesh (steel) and they look awesome. Perfect for people who aren't concerned about having a small sized drive.

Hey at least it means no more 2.5 bay adapters and velcro!

You can fit these in hot swap bays aswell. These in a 800D ooooo.

I've ordered 100's, but OCZ have not manage to ship me even 100 across the whole range, so they seem a bit limited, but awsome prices. :)
 
So tempted...
But just spent 500 quid on my pc this week.
Must.. Not.. Buy...
AAAARRRGGGHHH!
 
<sigh>

I am still happy with my 60GB 2.5", but look at the price for 120GB, that's unreal.

Nice work OcUK
 
If you put the little 60gb 2e on special..say £99.99..I will buy a 2nd one for sure:p

help clear out the old stock and all that;)
