OCZ Technology launches the Z-Drive PCI-Express SSD
The latest offering from OCZ Technology provides customers with up to one terabyte of storage. This is possible with a PCI-Express based SSD solution known as the Z-Drive. This storage device caters to computing enthusiasts as well as high-end workstations.
The Z-Drive incorporates state of the art PCI Express architecture which gives users a higher storage capacity and speed. The huge storage capacity of the SSD is achieved by jointly using an onboard RAID controller and 256MB local cache. This is offered to customers in a neat compact form and claims to give a better performance than other standard hard drives. The device also consumes less power due to the high-quality flash-based storage in a built-in total solution.
“It is our goal to deliver tailored SSD solutions for the complete spectrum of high performance applications. Designed for ultra high performance consumers, the Z-Drive takes the SATA bottleneck out of the equation by employing the ultra fast PCI-Express architecture with a RAID controller and four Vertex controllers configured in four-way RAID 0 within an all-in-one product, making this solution ideal for applications that put a premium on both storage performance and maximum capacity,” explained Eugene Chang, Vice President of Product Management at the OCZ Technology Group
The device provides customers with an overall storage experience as it delivers a fast performance while being cost-efficient and consuming reduced amounts of power. The hard disk drive is able to reach incredible speeds of up to 510MB/s read and 480MB/s write. The OCZ Z-Drive SSD comes in three storage types namely 250GB, 500GB and a whopping 1TB capacity.
The price and availability of the Z-Drive PCI-Express SSD from OCZ is still under wraps.
