Looks good. Though I wonder if it'll be very competitive, there are lots of good enterprise PCI-E drives out there.

OCZ's products should be more reliable now since Toshiba bought them. Hopefully thats the case. 

Their Vertex 4 was one of the best SSDs on the market competing with  Samsung at the time. 
If things go good I might nab another one of their SSDs.

They are NUTS, its way to over priced! 800GB for about $2,500?! They are NUTS! If OCZ keeps this up they will go bankrupt, by making these extremely expensive products, and no one buying them.

More than you or I could afford I bet :/

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

How much is this 1 million USD?

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

as far as reliability goes not much beats the vector so idk how they can be more reliable than that.

Cheaper than Intel's enterprise PCI-E SSD offering (SSD 910 series). This even has more IOPS at 200,000+.

I need more SSDs.
