OCZ Z Drive ('http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/05/oczs-z-drive-puts-1tb-of-blazing-ssd-capacity-in-your-pcie-slot/')

"1TB worth of SSD storage with maximum read rates of up to 600MB/sec and maximum write speeds of up to 500MB/sec. Oh, and the sustained write speeds are right around 400MB/sec. Essentially, this device will contain four 256GB MLC-based OCZ SSDs along with 256MB of ECC DDR2 RAM"

"It should hit the US of A in around six weeks for somewhere between $1,500 and $2,000"

That thing looks coooooolllllllllll. I can think of two people here that would probably buy that >;]

I wonder how that works. I have a quad-crossfire board but I am only using one video card. I was under the impression that the extra PCIe slots didn't do anything unless crossfire was enabled.
