The Reactor series is a balance between performance and value. It is available in 60GB and 120GB versions, has 128MB of cache, and a mini-USB port built-in. The 60GB version has maximum read/write speeds of 250/110MB/s and the 120GB version ups the read speed to 170MB/s. Pricing appears to be around $215 for the 60GB and $420 for the 120GB.
The Nova series features a higher-end Indilinx Barefoot controller, which allows for up to 215MB/s read speeds. It uses MLC NAND flash technology. There will be 64GB and 128GB models; the 64GB has up to 130MB/s write and the 128GB up to 195MB/s. The 64GB version is priced about $228 and the 128GB $431.
