the only colossus i remember hearing about was the 1tb in 3.5in FF. interesting to see smaller ones now, though with a single SLC up to 4gb. in a 3.5in FF that is going to be one huge drive.
2.5in FF makes more sense in a way, why take up more space for a hd when you can make it smaller. you use less material and you can ship more to etailer/retailer, its better all around. plus ocz makes more money per drive that way too.
the tech isnt taking to long, the problem is the price. have you seen the price for a 1tb ssd? no one i can think of would drop that kind of money on a 1tb ssd. If OCZ or someone else thought people would drop 1.5k+ for a 1gb TB drive, it would have been out sooner. about the only people that would buy something like that. is website hosters or database hosters, where they need the high IOPs.i understand but the tech is taking to long to get to the point of 500/1000gb ssd drives that we need now u know....
so then you would rather have a 3.5in SSD drive over a 2.5in is what your saying? i mean 120gb is still 120gb no matter how you slice it. It will still take the same number of nand chips regardless of FF of the drive.they should release them in a large form factor then later on when the tech is there then down size them

*you sentence left me a bit confused so i hope i understood it right*

well the way i see it it would be cheaper to make a 500 gb 3.5" drive with older memory chips than a 500gb 2.5" drive that has new chips that can hold more memory u get me?
