    Does it come with the caveats of RAID too? If there are pending writes in the cache and the system loses power, is that it, data corrupt? Or does it have a BBU? If not can you disable the cache? How fast is it without the cache?
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.

    What is the max transfer rate of pci express x4 and x16 anyway??
    Isn't Sata III already confermed and is going to be on AMD's new southbridge in Q4

    Can you even boot from PCIe?
    My understanding is not (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) - so what's the point of spending £1k on a superfast drive that you can't even run your main operating system on?!?! (and no I don't care for a super fast photoshop paging file). Fail...

    Of course you can. Just like you can boot from PCI.

    How do you think RAID cards work? And this is a RAID card with 4 drives attached already anyway.

    Re: News - OCZ's Z-Drive makes it into production. 1TB SSD with 500MB/s speeds

    correct my understanding but if your conecting something in raid 0 then surely the capacity doesnt grow with number of drives, just the speed then someone explain how

    "1TB SSD, made up of four 256GB drives in RAID0"

    that works?

    they are using 4 smaller drives in stripping config to make 1 big one, surely thats JBOD set up?

    i smell something fishy here

    Granted it's a pre-production version, but it gives you an idea of what it's like.
