OCZ Announces the Z-Drive m84 PCI-Express Bootable SSD

So if these can be used as a boot drive (a first for a pcie i think) I would be very interested to know how fast windows boots now! Vista 2 1/2 days :laugh:

and windows 7 must be under 10 seconds. Crysis will still take as long as it likes to level load. Looks very nice though. Time to think about selling my velo rap raid

good luck on that. I waited a little too long and took a 60% loss from $300

It's basically raid card + a bunch of SSD's in one package.

SSD drives are about the same cost as they were last year.....which sucks for us.

i agree it blows but at the same time i think its because in the past year they have fixed all the bugs given us more capacity and made read/write faster...give it another year / year and 1/2 and the prices will plummet when their isn't much more to do to them other than increase size.

I was really hoping that these would not be as pricy as they are. I was thinking in the lines of 500 dollars. Too bad, soo sad I be about it.
