One of my favorite companies has just released a new SSD, but not just any SSD, it’s a limited edition one. The Vertex LE SSD claims to be one of the fastest SSDs available today, and with 270MB/s read speeds and 250MB/s write speeds it could as well be.

OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (OTCBB:OCZT), a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high reliability memory and flash-based storage as an alternative to hard disk drives (HDDs), has unveiled the Company’s highly anticipated Vertex Limited Edition (LE). Based on the Company’s cutting-edge new architecture, OCZ’s Vertex LE is the epitome of innovation for power users seeking to integrate a new class of SSD in their Windows-based systems. For early adopters, a Vertex LE drive can take a high-end computing experience to the next level. OCZ will offer Vertex LE through its extensive network of distribution partners over the next few weeks.
