PC Perspective
"The Colossus kicks off our benchmark suite by promptly spanking everything else out there. None of that competition can match the crazy high write speeds of the Colossus. In addition, nobody else is making a single SATA SSD that scales to 1TB in size. OCZ has brought a worthy contender with their first 3.5" SSD solution. The added space of their enclosure was well utilized by a plethora of flash chips and no less than 4 SSD controllers. All things considered, the Colossus remains a solid solution for those wanting SSD performance in a 3.5" form factor."
Digital Trends: Best SSD Hard Drives
"Sporting a truly gargantuan capacity of one full terabyte (suitable for storing hundreds, if not thousands, of songs, videos and photos), the high-end model of OCZ’s aptly-named Colossus line of SSD drives impressively points the way to the future of the technology. For (upscale) PCs only."
Irish Daily Star
"OCZ has unleashed its Colossus 3.5” solid state drive series for high-end desktop users and enterprise clients. The Colossus series comes in sizes ranging from 120Gb to 1TB, and boasts maximum read and write of times of 260MB/s and a 1.5 million hours mean time between failures. With a sustained write time of 220MB/s and a design that should make it ideal for power users, we might well be adding it to our Christmas lists."
CPU Magazine
"Inside the drive, a pair of NAND-laden PCBs, each sporting Indilinx controllers, flows into a SATA backplane hosting three Silicon Image 5923 controllers. Where the Colossus blew us away was on write speeds, which were prety much at parity with read speeds...this is a huge advance. The data tells it all. If you want insane write performance, Colossus towers over the field."
