by Brian Beeler

OCZ has announced the Onyx 2 Series, a 2.5" mainstream SSD that "delivers excellent performance with lower price per gigabyte than that of other comparable drives on the market." We’ll take OCZ’s word for it, as they didn’t release pricing, but they did release specs that include a SandForce SF-1200 processor which delivers maximum 275MB/s reads and 265MB/s writes, with IOPS of 10,000 (4K aligned). The Onyx 2 comes in 120GB and 240GB capacities.
