For a definite 'whaaat ?' moment check this out. Over at CES OCZ has put some cool stuff on display, though Enterprise datacenter oriented this little 3000 MB/sec performing puppy caught our attention. 



It is a PCIe based NVMe Flash storage SSD that can manage sustained reads up-to 3000 MB/sec and writes up-to 2000 MB/sec. The PMC Sierra controller supports NVMe connectivity and power modes is switchable to enable even higher performance. 

It gets even more intersting when you check out the IOPS scores thouhg, they go trough the roof at a 700,000 IOPS read speeds with 4K blocks. 

The series was announced earlier already, but this is the first time we can check the performance specs. The Z-Drive 6000 PCIe SSD Series is a native PCIe 3.0 NVMe 1.1b solution in an easy to deploy 2.5-inch form factor and features a hot-pluggable SFF-8639 connector. 

The Z-Drive 6000 comes in capacities of 800GB, 1.6TB and 3.2TB in the small 2.5" 15mm form factor. The Z-Drive leverages the proven PMC-Sierra Princeton controller running OCZ-proprietary firmware. The Z-Drive 6000 is certified for NVMe specification 1.1b on the UNH-IOL integrator list.  It consumes just 25W with 20W and 15W low power mode options available, and will come in 800GB, 1.6TB, and 3.2TB capacities.
