Even though, the unique Z-Drive has by now been declared, it not at all made it to the retail/e-tail channel, but it looks like the innovative, redesigned Z-Drive may have more chance. If you missed it for the former time, the Z-Drive is OCZ's PCI-Express RAID based solid state drive that has remarkable read as well as write speeds of up to 800 with 750MB/s.

The latest Z-Drive will have two versions, the Z-Drive e84 as well as the p84. The former one is based on SLC NAND as well as therefore it will be quicker, while the p84 is based on MLC NAND chips. Both drives make use of a PCI-Express x8 interface; include 256MB of on-board cache with an included RAID controller.

The e84 series will be obtainable in 256GB as well as 512GB capacities while the MLC based p84 will arrive in 256, 512 as well as 1TB capacities. The SLC-based e84 series has a maximum read plus write speeds of up to 800 as well as 750MB/s while the MLC based p84 are inadequate to 750 and 650MB/s.

Just as all other SSD from OCZ, the innovative Z-Drive is also backed by a three year warranty as well as should strike retail pretty shortly. Even though, OCZ didn't formally declare the prices of these drives.
