Most people already know that SSDs are the way to go if you require performance over storage. OCZ are now looking at making the performance gap between mechanical HDs and SSDs even greater with the introduction of a 6Gb/s SAS interface compared to the more usual 3Gb/s SATA interface.

OCZ’s SandForce-based SSDs will be available in sizes ranging from 50GB to an impressive 400GB, although the company has yet to confirm pricing for any models in the range. The company has, however, promised to firm up the details and offer some concrete information on the product range before presenting the devices at CES in 2010.

Although actual performance information for the devices hasn’t yet been released, the use of the new 6Gb/s interface holds the promise of an extremely fast drive – although the use of 6Gb/s SAS rather than 6Gb/s SATA indicates the desire to sell the product to the enterprise market, which may well – at least at first – price it out of the reach of your average consumer.
