1TB SSD In Your PCIe Slot By OCZ

One of the biggest complaints about SSD drives is that they don’t tend to come in the higher capacity sizes.  OCZ (showing off at CeBIT) announced a PCIe gadget that is basically 1TB of SSD with read speeds of 600MB/sec and max write speeds of 500MB/sec (sustained write speeds are 400MB/sec).

Essentially, this device will contain four 256GB MLC-based OCZ SSDs along with 256MB of ECC DDR2 RAM; when slapped in one’s desktop, they can choose to set it up as the boot disk or a slave. OCZ is also hoping to offer a 4TB edition by the end of the year, which is totally plausible given that 1TB SSDs are already a reality. The on-hand demo was just a mockup shell, but the finalized version shouldn’t look much different than what’s pictured in the gallery below. As for pricing and availability? It should hit the US of A in around six weeks for somewhere between $1,500 and $2,000. It’s high-end, y’all.

Detailed pictures and more after the break.
