"No other enterprise PCIe SSD can even hold a candle to the OCZ Z-Drive R4" - Storage Review

September 27, 2011

“The OCZ Z-Drive R4 did nothing short of wow us the entire time we had it in our lab, as it literally performed so well that it broke our rig, forcing us to re-think the way we test enterprise PCIe solutions going forward. It blew away the competition in nearly every test by a significant margin, quite a feat considering the Z-Drive R4 costs 35-40% less than the Fusion-io ioDrive Duo. The Z-Drive R4 also bested the LSI enterprise PCIe solution, which has SandForce processors that are a generation old but still costs around four times as much per GB.”

“This is where OCZ really shows off their brilliance - the balance of performance and cost. OCZ has gone with less expensive MLC NAND and layered in the latest SandForce SF-2282 processors with software like SuperScale storage accelerator, which reduces CPU usage and power consumption, while still driving what really is, unmatched throughput.”

• Incredibly fast, more than twice in some scenarios than the competition
• Priced very competitively at $7/GB
• No external power required
• Bootable

“The OCZ Z-Drive R4 is simply amazing. The cost/performance ratio is off the charts, no other enterprise PCIe SSD can even hold a candle to the OCZ Z-Drive R4, when measured this way. OCZ has re-defined the art of blending hardware with software for a masterful enterprise SSD.”
