OCZ's Z-Drive makes it into production. 1TB SSD with 500MB/s speeds


The blistering 700MB/s read and 500MB/s write speed of the CeBIT drive is nowhere to be seen, intimating the use of cheaper OCZ SSDs inside. The ouch comes in the form of price, reckoned to be just shy of a grand for the 250GB model and rising, inexorably, to £2,250 for the 1TB monster.

Other multi-SSD-drive options may be cheaper, but we don't think it really matters what price the Z-Drive comes in at, frankly, because its job is to raise awareness of the brand as a halo product, and it does that pretty well. Who is going to buy one then?

This thing is SICK!  This is about the fastest thing I have seen period, by a long shot!  Can you imagine two of these bad boys in a RAID 0 config...you'd be able to finish your boot up before you lifted your finger off the button!

Yeah, just think about running a couple of those in RAID 0.  You could boot in less than a second if you had the rest of the hardware to support it!

    Those would be nice, but i doubt it'll fit in my case.  My RAM fans are in the way of the last PCIe slot.
