OCZ Z-Drive R2 E88 OCZSSDPX-ZD2E88512G PCI-E x8 512GB SLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Bet it's fast

Ah, price

Fast

Price. This technology is not new. In relation to ssd drives it is a different idea. Ram is expensive not this expensive. Divide by 10 and it might be worth it

Speed wise there is none better, programs will load in 1 or 2 seconds as long as you got the CPU t back it up

the $9000 price tag, you can get the 1TB PCI-E 4x for $6000 less

Looks a lot like a bunch of old ram sticks glued together

no blue LEDs, $10,000

A very kind customer's IT guy let me borrow his Z-drive for a week before he installed it. Putting it through the paces was entertaining. Using a gentoo Dual Quad Core Server, we bottle necked at the file system itself. btrfs with the ssd option got...

A. I Can't keep it ; B. I couldn't boot from it directly ; C. Why stop at 0.5TB

I still enjoy the occasional buffet once a yr or so...lol ; Perpetual cycle of technology essentially means that in 10 yrs this will only cost $10

To the other "reviewer" (brahmaman) who said that this product was too expensive and rated themselves "high" in tech knowledge: This product is sporting 512 GB of SLC flash, not MLC which is MUCH cheaper. If you compare this price to other SLC drives...

None

I do not own it but have seen it in action. It is as good as they say nothing wrong with product

Price!!! it is unbelievable and you know it costs probably $50 for them to prodce this, how do these computer parts company people sleep at night charging this kind of money. SSD is the new thing but not that new and price vs performance is anything...

It's a pretty fast harddrive

It's only 512GB, I wasn't able to back up my harddrives because of all of my data
