OCZ’s Z-Drive PCI-Express SSD gets exhaustively reviewed
Man, talk about a letdown. It's hard to put into mere words just how excited we were about the OCZ
Z-Drive when we
saw an early prototype shell way back at CeBIT, and now that it's
shipping out to affluent users, we've got a remarkably thorough review explaining that it's probably not the dream device we were all hoping for. The good folks over at
Hot Hardware managed to slam the Z-Drive m84 into their PCIe slot and run it through a battery of tests, and aside from larger file transfers, there just wasn't a mind-blowing amount of awesomeness to speak of. Critics expected this thing to rival at least an SSD RAID solution driven by a software RAID controller, but for whatever reason, that simply wasn't the case. Hit the read link for more benchmarks than you'd ever care to see on a weekend, and feel free to pocket that plastic.
