Ultimate SSD - 2TB OCZ Z-Drive p88
Just for anyone interested in storage:
Quote:P88 is nothing like you've seen before in the world of SSD or PCIe-based storage – NAND Flash modules are located on SO-DIMM modules which according to Tobias, brings the upgradeability option to the world of PCIe SSD – and also reduces the power consumption thanks to usage of PCIe x8 slots and standard power regulation. In my personal view, much more important feature is the added redundancy – if something goes off, it is easily to detect a dead NAND Flash chip and upgrade it without a hassle or more importantly – downtime for an investment such as SSD storage.

The Z-Drive p88 itself comes with four Indilinx controllers and offers a read speed of massive 1.3 GB/s with write speeds also at a massive rate of 1.2GB/s – the fastest wee've seen so far. If you are in video production, you're free to start having wet dreams, as this is more than enough to start using uncompressed 4K RAW video and edit the footage at mind-boggling speed.

So that's inbuilt redundancy, 2TB storage, fast SSD seeks, 1.3 / 1.2GB/sec read/writes, and some potential for upgrades.  Is limited by the number of PCIe x8/x16 slots you have on board though, and the SSD probably still has the issue of dying after many writes.
Probably need to sell your car if you want this, but for anyone interested, this is something.

RE: Ultimate SSD - 2TB OCZ Z-Drive p88
eh, its been done before, but with older technology...
http://techreport.com/articles.x/9312/1

basically it is ram with battery backup, so yeah, 1.3gb is real (and even a bit slow really), but if it loses power too long, your data goes poof!

edit: nevermind, seems to be different. but close

I kinda was interested in the I-RAM actually, but no-one seemed to really like it.  Also 4GB can't compare with 2TB that's also non-volatile :P
