Have they figured out how to end the bad MTBF, mean time between failures of SSD drives. Last time I read up on them they had a software/controller solution to the memory banks to evenly distribute data so they don't wear out as quick.
 
Wait.

I need 2 in RAID-0. So I have to give away both arms and legs?

Then how am i supposed to use it?

pppshhh. OCZ really need to consider their bartering criteria before releasing products.
 
"OCZ Z-Drives!

Sell your soul now!

Move to hell later!"

No really these are the Ferraris of internal storage :)

Instead of buying a SUPERCOMPUTER i would just buy one of these and spend all day looking at it lol
 
Just think with these drives in 5 years P.C's will boot up 1 TB faster then those old game console ROM cartridges and cost very little! Let's also hope that Windows doesn't bloat to 1TB!

They ninja-edited that in. And yeah, I'd like to hear how.
 
you boot from it by selecting it in the bios as a bootable device like hard drive etc. its not rocket science!You boot into pci-e raid cards the same way
 
I can see it now... "I bought 2 of these for a RAID 0, OS wouldn't boot. RMA'd and had to pay $200 for shipping that included insurance and a 15% restocking fee. I'll never buy from TigerDirect and an OCZ product again!"

sucks to be you.
 
This is an instant must-have for any gaming enthusiast for whom money is no object (or one who games as a main hobby with a normal paying job that doesn't mind spending oodles on their computer since it's all they do, like myself). The thought actually went through my head to take a small loan out for the 1 TB. I mean yeah I'd be paying for it for the next year, but think of how long that amount of space will last you with THAT much speed. Damn. Even though it's still too expensive for the average "takes a few paychecks" upgrade, it's the first 1 TB superspeed SSD that has really got me to think about a major splurge that I might consider worth it.
 
Why would you need such high-performance storage in a desktop, especially at such ridiculous price? To boot Windows in several seconds? You do not even need SSD to do this, just right software - try Boot Cooler (www.bootcooler.com), it is still in beta but it does its job well (please read documentation beforehand if you want to use it on 64-bit Vista/Win7). And it is free.
 
I'll be picking one of those up... in 2015! I just got my 1st SSD and it's awesome, even if tiny, but I'd splurge on an i7 975 + Samsung Spinponit F3 1TB + OCZ Vertex Turbo 120GB (same price) before buying a 1TB of these.

Yeah, cause that helps your FPS, right? LMAO. Gamers don't need crazy SSDs unless they're cool with spending thousands of dollars to launch their games faster. Drives like this do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for your in-game performance.

LOLZ! How much further can we push this joke? Maybe when Crysis is as old as DN3D?

I suppose game loading times would be reduced but actual game play won't be affected. As a gamer I need a bit of that loading time to finish chugging my can of Relentless and stuffing the Twinky in my mouth.
