Assuming your local laws give you permission to drool, you might want to smack your lips and read on for some expert verdicts of OCZ’s enterprise-level 2.8GB/s Z-Drive R4 PCIe SSD. If your statutory position is trickier, then maybe just do it quietly?
-
[Storage Review](http://www.storagereview.com/ocz_zdrive_r4_ssd_review): the R4 "blew away the competition in nearly every test by a significant margin," even though it costs just $7/GB -- up to 40 percent less than its rivals. -
[Hot Hardware](http://hothardware.com/Reviews/OCZ-ZDrive-R4-Performance-Preview/?page=1): benchmarks support the ridiculous speed claims, but thermal sensitivity means the card must be constantly bathed in cool air. -
[AnandTech](http://www.anandtech.com/show/4879/ocz-zdrive-r4-cm88-16tb-pcie-ssd-review/1): it's hard to compare the Z-Drive R4 because no other SSD comes close, but this type of technology has no track record for reliability and may therefore be a hard sell.
