The Core Series also incorporates a 32GB drive priced at $169 and a 64GB model with a $259 price tag. OCZ claims all three drives are 50% cheaper per gigabyte than "other high speed offerings currently on the market," and it quotes sequential read speeds of "120-143Mbps" and write speeds of "80-93Mbps." Unless these drives are exceptionally slow, we assume the press release means MB/s rather than Mbps—at least, that's what OCZ would have one think when it says the Core Series is "up to 10x as fast on a seek-time basis and up to 40% faster on a R/W basis that the best performing 2.5" [hard disk drives] on the market."
