OCZ’s PCIe SSD Z-Drive finally starts shipping 17 September 2009 at 3:18 am by admin

Call it coincidence if you will, but on the same day that Super Talent announced that its 2TB RAIDDrive would begin shipping next month, OCZ has finally confessed that its Z-Drive is shipping… right now! Originally shown in prototype form back at CeBIT , this PCIe card is equipped with four SSDs linked in a RAID 0 configuration. We’d originally assumed that just a few capacities of the same device would be available, but we’re learning today that two iterations will be produced: the Z-Drive p84 will be MLC-based and tout a 750MBps maximum read rate / 650MBps maximum write rate, while the SLC-based Z-Drive e84 cranks that to 800MBps and 750MBps (respectively)

+ PCI Express 3.0 specification formally delayed, products pushed to 2011 By admin 23 August 2009 at 4:12 am and have No Comments

We’ve been enjoying (or just dealing with, depending on perspective) PCI Express 2.0 since early 2007 , and it now looks as if we may still be utilizing said protocol come early 2011. Way back in June of ‘08, we began to hear whispers that the next iteration of the technology would be finalized by the end of this year, but now the PCI SIG has formally delayed the release of the specification until the second quarter of 2010.
