Cached SSDs have been announced by OCZ

High performance Solid State Disks called Vertex Series.

The so-called Vertex Series series of four-member MLC (Multi-Level Cell) NAND flash chips hidden in the housing has a total capacity of 30, 60, 120 or 250 GB, depending on the model. These OCZ SSDs stand out from the gray box of Solid State Disks through their built-in caches, with smaller ones relying on 32 megabytes of cache and larger ones relying on 64 megabytes of cache. Vertex storage drives meet top-of-the-line expectations, with OCZ measuring an average search time of less than 0,1 milliseconds and a write speed of up to 160 MB / s with a read speed of up to 200 MB / s may.

The 2,5-inch, 77-gram SSDs are equipped with a SATA-II interface by OCZ, and the average time between failures has been determined to be 1,5 million operating hours. Vibration protection protects the integrity and data of the structure up to 1500 G, and the power consumption expected from a Solid State Disk is extremely low, 2 W in active mode and 0,5 W in standby mode. OCZ Technology offers a 2-year warranty on Vertexes.
