During CES OCZ Storage solutions has many new product on display, the good news here is that these are pending 2016 products, e.g. future stuff and we like future stuff alright. Below the fold you will see photos and information on the Trion 150, Z-Drive 6000/6300 and all new RevoDrive 400.



 


OCZ Z-Drive 6300 AIC series

First up is the Z-Drive 6300 which is a PCIe 3.0 (x4) based storage unit using the fastly growing popular NVMe storage protocol. The card will be available in massive volyume sizes of 800 GB, 1.6 TB, 3.2TB and holy guacamole ... 6.4TB. The cards are obviously enterprise class but that won't stop me from sharing some numbers. It shows where OCZ is at in terms of performance. The upcoming Z-Drive 6300 is cable of almost 3GB/s sequential reads with up-to 1.5 GB/s on writes. Staggering is the IOPS performance, rated at 700K for random 4K reads with 135K for writes. There's also a U.2. 6000 series drive that performs a notch slower. Please have a peek at the thumbnails with info on that one (below).
 


OCZ RevoDrive 400

Out of all the stuff we are showing in this news-item, I am the most excited about this series. Moving more towards consumer grade stuff, meet the all new RevoDrive 400. The new Revo is a bit unlike what you are used to as in the past we had a PCB with controllers and SSD NAND units. This round it simply is a PCIe 3.0 (x4) add-in card with M.2. SSD unit. That also means you can simply drop this unit into your m.2. slot as long as it has PCIe 3.0 / x4 connectivity. The RevoDrive 400 M2 unit will be NVMe 1.1b compliant and is using all new Toshiba 15nm MLC NAND flash chips. They will be available in 128, 256, 512 and even 1 TB volumes and get covered by a 5-year ShieldPlus warranty. This obviously will be THE product competing with the 950 Pro from Samsung. Performance then and I find it staggering, the RevoDrive 400 will be capable of 2400 MB/s reads and 1500 MB/sec writes (sequential) with 210K IOPS read and 140K IOPS write on random 4K files. That is spot on with the competition - we expect a release somewhere in February or March already - oh I am such a sucker for new performance tech - bring it on !
 


OCZ Trion 150 Series

Back to traditional SSDs. One of the more popular SSDs for OCZ at this time is the Trion 100. A new 150 series is coming. It'll be making use of new (smaller) 15nm NAND flash memory  from Toshiba.  These will be available in 120, 240, 480 and 960 GB models. Performance is a notch better over the older series, yet obviously is tied to the bottleneck that is the SATA3 port - hovering close to the 550 MB/s ranges with 90K IOPS read / 64K on 4K random writes. The new drive will get 3 years of Shieldplus warranty.

Below some extra screen-shots with info but also some benchmarks for the RevoDrive 400 (512GB version) and a screenshot of the upcoming SSDGuru software which is going to have some improvements to be found in update notifications, an internal benchmark and alert system. Click the thumbnails, and with that said, have a good weekend !
