CeBIT 2009: OCZ Technology
OCZ is making some waves with their Z Drive, which is a PCIe based SSD enclosure for four hard drives. They have a unit up and running in white, while it is also displayed in a black color. The Z Drive is intended to be used with four SSDs, which allow for some insane speeds. The entire unit is interfaced with a PCIe x8 and requires two Molex connectors. But wait - there is more!
You will also find a first prototype of an overclocked router, which OCZ will be offering in the future, as well as a new USB flash drive which comes with encryption, called "Lockdown". Their SSD line-up is also getting an addition with the Summit SSD. This is their premium offering.OCZ is also offering memory modules for the Apple products and they are also showing their prototype computer Case, which we first spotted at CES this year here as well.

"Check this out I have my 8mbps adsl broadband connected at 1.38Gbps, YEAH!"
The two Molex inputs shouldn't be that close to each other. Several PSUs come with Molex connectors that have some kinds of grips. It would become impossible to place two of such connectors on this card.
But if you examine the pic closely is almost looks like the molex connectors were like that and they cut off the push clips from the connector.
As they say, more than one way to skin a cat lol
Would have been better to space them further apart or come with an adapter like dual molex to 1 pcie or something like that.
Putting aside variance in the overall quality of the internal components and transmission power, router processing speed is the primary difference between a $40 router and a $120 one, even if they're both 802.11n certified for 300Mbps.
how can a overclocked router have a increase in perf? You probable won't even notice anything!! But nice to see that people are getting more and more innovative!

THey were just examples of what OCZ could be intending to do.

Unfortunately the boss wouldn't let me take it home... something about not trusting me to ever bring it back :D ;)
My only prob with the Z-Drive power is that it's on the end. Would be nice to have it on the edge, not the end of a device that long.
I would like one, even at lower size like 128GB/256GB where the price could be reasonnable. :banghead: I would keep my current RAID-0 for data.
For the Z-Drive's estimated price I could grab an Adaptec 5808 and eight 64GB SSD's. Half the space, but you'd be pushing that controller to it's limits (~1.2GB/s) and can boot from it.
