AnandTech - OCZ Z-Drive R4 CM88 (1.6TB PCIe SSD) Review

AnandTech - OCZ Z-Drive R4 CM88 (1.6TB PCIe SSD) Review
We introduced the Z-Drive R4 in our Computex coverage earlier this year - it's a beast. The Z-Drive R4 is a multi-controller PCIe solution that uses either 4 or 8 SF-2000 controllers behind a SAS-to-PCIe 2.0 x8 controller. The breakdown is as follows:

בחישוב מהיר, יוצא שכרטיס אחד כזה יהיה מסוגל להריץ 4-5 סטרימים של 4K בלי בעייה. 
בשביל ~10,000 (6-7 דולר לג'יגה) דולר זה עדיין לא פתרון לכל כיס, אבל צפוי שהמחיר ירד משמעותית בעתיד הקרוב.
