Incredibly fast, more than twice in some scenarios than the competition, Priced very competitively at $7/GB, with many configuration options, Bootable, with Windows and Linux driver support
Needs higher levels of multi-threaded traffic to fully utilize eight SandForce controllers
The OCZ Z-Drive R4 offers a configuration for everyone, and delivers great IOPS/$ out of their standard MLC NAND offering. For the right workloads the Z-Drive R4 is nearly impossible to beat in performance, price or flexibility...
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 ...
Industry leading sequential performance, Incredible IOPS performance, Outstanding IOPS scaling at greater queue depths, Incredible performance/cost (vs. Fusion IO),
Cost (see below)
The OCZ Z-Drive R4 took the VCA 2.0 benefits from the RevoDrive 3 X2 and amplified them to a level I could have previously only imagined. The SuperScale processor not only takes full advantage of PCIe 2.0 x8, it nearly saturates it completely. When it...
Without competing cards to compare to it's difficult to quantify the Z-Drive R4's performance other than to say that it is obviously very fast. With SandForce based SSDs however my concern is rarely about performance and more about reliability. I've often...
Fastest PCIe SSD we've tested yet, 2.8GB/sec bandwidth, on paper and in benchmarks, Bootable device, SandForce SF-2200 maintenance, wear-leveling and endurance second to none
A fraction of the cost of competitive enterprise-class PCIe SSDs (per GB)but still expensive, Thermal sensitivity requires lots of direct airflow around the card
OCZ's Z-Drive R4 offered breakout performance in almost every test condition we put it under. In fact, we were able to realize the card's max read/write bandwidth specification in our ATTO test and watched it flat out crush competitive products in our IO...
