Who would of guessed that exactly OCZ will be able to achieve the unachieveble. At CeBIT the famous overclocking memory and peripherals maker has demoed Z Drive, a PCI-Express x8 connection storage device that boasts four 256 GB (MLC-equipped) solid-state drives in RAID 0 setup. In total we get 1 TB space and 256 MB of data cache. Put this into a system with a Core i7 965 EE CPU and an ASUS P6T motherboard, get some external power for the drives, and you'll easily reach transfer speeds at up to 712 MB/s read, 500 MB/s write as well as almost zero access time, a dream come true. Now the bad news, the Z Drive is obviously going to cost a lot, about $1500 to be more precise.

What RAID controller?
Looks like a router. When I first saw the picture I was like what the **** is a router doing in the computer.
I'll take 4 of them in RAID 0 please!

Whoops, not enough PCI-E slots... OR MONEY. lol.

Doesn't look like it says. Originating French site just has a pic of the spec sheet that say 'hardware based RAID controller'.

Dude screw my four way RAID and uber RAID controller, Ill get this fizz beech and has uber hard drive haks
amazing how just 2 months ago they couldn't get over 64gb.
With access times that fast... would you even need RAM really?
Seems like some system restructuring is needed when this gets common...
Ugly as sin but its hard to argue with those numbers. I wonder what load times and boot time look like on that thing.

One things for sure you wouldn't need things like Prefetch, Superfetch, and Indexing.

It looks like they've stuck together 64GBx16 SSD's with duck tape and hidden them in a 1998 modem.

That's insane, and for the performance the price really isn't that bad. That said, I'll get one when it drops to $150.

Sucks it has to use a PCI-e slot, but I guess it's needed.
