OCZ Z-Drive R3 PCI-E, 1 GB/s and TRIM

“OCZ has just announced the new version of its PCI-Express Z-Drive SSD, the R3. Available in 300, 600 and 1200 GB versions, the R3 has no fewer than four SandForce SF-1565 controllers, which allows it to reach sequential reads of 1 GB/s and writes of 900 MB/s and 135,000 IOPS in random 4 KB writes. For the P84 version, the Z-Drive R3s use MLC but OCZ says that there may also be SLC and eMLC versions.

Interestingly, OCZ says that its new VCA (Virtualized Controller Architecture) technology allows the combination of several controllers at the same time as retaining access to the SMART and TRIM technologies.”
