OCZ shows a PCI-E 8x 1TB SSD

**Mad1723** · 03-03-2009, 09:41 AM

Consisting of 4 x 256Gb SSD in RAID-0 with 256Mb of "RAM". It reaches 400MB/s of sustained write speed, 500MB/s peak write speed and 600MB/s in read speed. It is equiped with an Hardware RAID solution too and is on PCI-E 8x bus because it overloads SATA II. Price: 1500$

Damn its the perfect HD for XS members! Fast, low energy, plenty of storage (for me at least), AND expensive as HELL! What more could you want?

**~~TheKarmakazi~~** · 03-03-2009, 09:46 AM

Niiiice!

If they made a 4x 30gb + controller card... I wonder what the price would be... that would be better suited for me personally.

**Calmatory** · 03-03-2009, 09:48 AM

...and in 12 months you can get same thing for $700. Whos gonna buy?

**Jamesrt2004** · 03-03-2009, 09:48 AM

it's not baldly priced for size.

I really have my doubts that a 1TB SSD will be under $700 within a year.

And in 24 months its $400... never play the waiting game with hardware

**One_Hertz** · 03-03-2009, 09:59 AM

looks nice but need performance figures

. It is definitely MLC so hopefully the controller is good.

**alfaunits** · 03-03-2009, 10:01 AM

Considering the size that is CHEAP. 250 GB SSDs are around half of that price, so 4x250GB + RAID+cache RAM...
I'd buy one right away just for fun really! Considering the size I would only expect it to be reliable - not even worried about random performance here

Just lemme know where to buy...

**Helmore** · 03-03-2009, 10:33 AM

How long is that card actually? It appears to be very long, but that might be a bit of a deception. Now get me something like this with about 250GB of storage and a reasonable price.

**Dosagex** · 03-03-2009, 10:40 AM

Is this device bootable?

**astrallite** · 03-03-2009, 10:45 AM

Hopefully its FAST and performance doesn't DEGENERATE to 5400rpm drive level like the current Intel SSD drives.

??? so?

**Fuji** · 03-03-2009, 11:08 AM

to say that it's pretty is an understatement.

Needless to say, I want one.

NAND prices drop really fast from year to year so hopefully it will be "cheap" by the time it's released

**XS Janus** · 03-03-2009, 11:09 AM

The maximum advertised speeds are 600MB / s read, 500 MB / s write and 400 MB / s random write. Deux contrôleurs seront présents : un pour le RAID hardware (MARVELL) et un pour la gestion des puces (Indilix ou Samsung) mais aucun n’est encore choisi de manière définitive. Two controllers are present: one for hardware RAID (Marvel) and one for the management of fleas (Indilix or Samsung), but none has yet chosen a final. Le prix annoncé est de 1500 $ pour une garantie de 5 à 10 ans. The advertised price is $ 1,500 for a guarantee of 5 to 10 years.

IMO it looks to be 4x250GB vertex drives bonded on a raid card. Good price for space though. If you remove the casing I bet they are regular drives with no stickers and sata connected.
But I also understand why they went for 250GB drives... who would buy single Vertex if you couild get 4x60GB on this!

**Helmore** · 03-03-2009, 11:12 AM

From what I could gather from the French article, the warranty on these things will be somewhere from 5 to 10 years. This 1 TB version will be released in May and they already have plans for a 4 TB version, but that version may require active cooling.
All in all, pretty sick if you ask me.

EDIT: XS Janus apparently was a bit quicker than I was.

**marius7** · 03-03-2009, 11:22 AM

4 TB is way to much, I'd better want let's say 8x60GB or even 16x60GB, and PCI-E 16x

4X retail Vertex can't write anywhere that fast... Possibly 4x Vertex with custom firmware.

Again, they are posting cache benches.

**EniGmA1987** · 03-03-2009, 12:01 PM

Dang, if it was only around $1000 I would definitely get one for a project I am going to be doing soon.

LOL you are right!
Damn marketing FUD

IS the IO meter test 4k?
Single 250GB Vertex does ~2500 on ICH10R and 2x120GB on ICH10R do ~3500, and this does ~5400 in this preview test...

**alfaunits** · 03-03-2009, 01:27 PM

Well, ~20MB/s, 5000 IOps, that pretty much says it's 4K

I want one!

**XS Janus** · 03-03-2009, 01:42 PM

Do I see SLi-like connectors!
