60GB OCZ SSD Debuts on Newegg at a Highly Discounted Price

SSDs with a 64GB storage capacity fetched close to a grand last year. But their outrageous prices have become subdued with the passage of time. Now, if you act quickly, OCZ’s brand new Core V2 OCZSSD2-2C60G 2.5” 60GB SSD could be yours for $240 – approximately $4/GB. The SSD boasts read speeds of 170MB/sec and write speeds of 98MB/sec. It also features a built-in USB 2.0 port for firmware updates, and can serve as a replacement for your notebook’s HDD.

The OCZSSD2-2C60G SSD is only available on NewEgg at the moment. Although the actual price of this SSD is supposed to be $299, OCZ is offering a sizable rebate worth $60 under an offer that will last until 18th September, 2008. In fact, the rebate is applicable on other OCZ SSD’s as well.
