Both of these look good, I wonder how they relate to models in their OCZ branding and whether similar OCZ models are released down the track.

I was actually looking up Toshiba yesterday, but in regards to mechanical drives. They have three new mechanical drive models (with different capacities in each). The new models are E300 (extended computing, essentially a low powered green type drive), the P300 (performance), and X300 (extreme performance).

Note the italics next to the model names, that is from Toshiba's blurb of these.

So, it seems that Toshiba have gone to a new naming schedule, with the new generation of drives getting a letter followed by 300... with E, P, X mechanical drives and Q (maybe meaning quiet?) for SSD's.
