Thread: 1TB SSD drive

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.

Damn, it looks fast.

Fast but sure as hell not worth the money for the normal person, especially for that much space. If I'm going to buy a TB drive, I'll just spend 100 bucks rather than over a grand. It would be nice to own one though that's for sure.

I can't wait til these cost $100

I want one.
I also want pictures.

That sounds so sweet.

This would be fucking awesome for video editing. Especially on something like a RAID 10.

Here are more pictures.
