| Yesterday, we had the honor and privilege to actually test this insane new product from OCZ called Z-Drive. Now I'm not talking about taking a screenshot or two and calling that "article", I'm talking about hours of work and trying to extract the maximum possible performance out of a device that's just... insane. That's the word that's the best possible description really. Can you imagine having transfer rates in the >900MB/s region, more then 700MB/s sustained average reads and writes over 600MB/s by using any kind of storage-technology just l ike that? Yeah, it took me awhile to figure some stuff out but right now... There you go. |

I think it was $1500?

i need to change my pants, i just noticed the random access times. insanity. I can't even imagine how fast this would be.

It's just a bunch of SSDs with a discrete RAID controller.
You can get similar performance with a RAID controller and 4-8 SSD (depending on the SSD performance).

So is it PCIe that makes the thing so darned faster? Or is this huge drive a bunch of SSDs.. or something like that? -Trying to understand where that speed comes from.- |

I'm guessing 4x256 SSD based off their new Vertex 2 SSD (with internal 2xRAID0).

Most likely about two or three seconds.

mmm, quantum loading.
Also, has anyone else noticed their exhaust fan at the back isn't plugged in?

I think that OCZ Z-drive is based on the same technology as this thing
A DRAM Hard Drive For Professional Apps?
![]()
Gigabyte certainly created a stir earlier this year when it debuted its i-RAM solid state hard drive composed of DRAM modules. Inside, the i-RAM offers a PCI-type add-in card that hosts four DDR memory modules and hooks up to a mass storage controller via Serial ATA. A battery unit backs up the data stored in the memory when the PC is powered down. The main feature of the i-RAM and RAM-based drives in general is their amazingly short access times and data transfer rates that easily exceed the bandwidth of common hard drive interfaces such as UltraATA or Serial ATA.
Shortly after we published our i-RAM review, British vendor HyperOs Systems offered that we test drive its HyperDrive III solid state disk product. The vendor claims the HyperDrive III is superior in many ways, as it offers more memory capacity and comes in a nifty 5.25" form factor.
Given their novelty, all solid state disk products have one major drawback: their prices compared to traditional hard drives are out of reach for most budgets. The devices remain far more expensive as measured by price per bits of capacity. However, products such as Gigabyte's i-RAM or the HyperDrive III by HyperOs Systems are priced more competitively since they contain standard components and their memory capacities are limited.
