Able to brag with a few good solid state drives, OCZ has decided to up the ante at CeBIT and for that it brought and showcased the Z Drive. OCZ's storage device has a PCI-Express x8 connection interface and boasts four 256GB (MLC-equipped) SSDs in RAID 0 to sum up to 1TB, and 256MB of cache. The Z Drive requires extra power and has declared read and write speeds of up to 600 MB/s and 500 MB/s.
Put into a system with a Core i7 965 EE CPU and an Asus P6T motherboard, the Z Drive, as seen below, reached a maximum transfer rate of 712 MB/s. The catch here is obviously the price as the quad-SSD device will cost about $1500."

Nej diskarna slutar inte vara flaskhalsar bara så dära :). Däremot så blir kontrollerkretsarna samt bussen dessa sitter på, latens etc större flaskhalsar.
Så länge "datorn" väntar på data från disken så är disken en flaskhals ...
