OWC released a new SSD for PCs and Macs, which the company describes as the cheapest high-performance SSD on the market.

For $68, the Mercury Extreme Pro 3G drive is good for a sustained data read rate of up to 275 MB/s, according to OWC. The downside: you don't get much capacity as the drive has a capacity of just 30 GB. the manufacturer also promises that the Extreme Pro 3G is "up to 100x" better in "data protection" than "ordinary SSDs" as it integrates "RAID-like" reliability.

The 6G versions are available from 60 GB to 480 GB for $130 to $895.
