PCI-E Solid State Drives / 250GB - 1TB / x8 PCI-E / 4 x SATA / MLC NAND / Mainstream Solution

The Z-Drive m84 is a PCI-Express Solid State Drive (SSD) designed to offer the performance of OCZ’s Z-Drive product line to enthusiasts for a more affordable price point and availability in the mainstream market segment versus the enterprise channel. The Z-Drive m84 is the answer to the demand from end-users to have access to this state-of-the-art storage solution.

With cost-effective multi-level cell (MLC) NAND and a bootable internal RAID 0 configuration, the Z-Drive m84 is ideal for desktop enthusiasts seeking plug and play solid state technology. By taking the SATA bottleneck out of the equation with a high-speed PCI-Express interface, the Z-Drive m84 pushes the performance barrier future than competing mainstream SATA-based SSD products. The m84 can accommodate a wider range of applications and computing environments such as video editing and other multi-media creation and management, all while providing lower power consumption, superior durability, and shock resistance compared to traditional rotational-based drives.

Perfect for bleeding-edge users migrating to SSD solutions but needing ample storage capacity for their workstations or desktops, the m84 is available in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB (1024GB) models to house a comprehensive collection of applications and files. The Z-Drive m84 comes backed by a leading 3-year warranty and dedicated technical support, ensuring unparalleled peace of mind for your performance investment.

*Consumers may see a discrepancy between reported capacity and actual capacity; the storage industry standard is to display capacity in decimal. However, the operating system usually calculates capacity in binary format, causing traditional HDD and SSD to show a lower capacity in Windows. In the case of SSDs, some of the capacity is reserved for formatting and redundancy for wear leveling. These reserved areas on an SSD may occupy up to 5% of the drive’s storage capacity.





Computer DIY (Taiwan)
"When compared to a solution based on RAID card and a couple of high-performance SATA 2.0 drives, OCZ Z-Drive m84 seems to be a better choice for many reasons: the total cost of ownership of Z-Drive is going to be lower than any other solution based on one high-performance RAID card plus two or four high-performance SSDs able to deliver similar performance. Besides, the set-up of m84 was an easy task – there won’t be any additional cables that take the space inside the case. For those looking for top performance storage – don’t look any further – Z-Drive m84 is the top choice."

OC (Taiwan)
"The fastest drive in history – OCZPCI-E SSD Z-Drive m84- faster than a category 5 hurricane. Suppose that in the past your traditional HDD had a transfer rate of about 30MB/s, than OCZ Z-Drive m84 is about 20x faster than your drive. We gave the Z-Drive a try, and copied files from Z-Drive to our temporary ramdisk achieving an amazing transfer rate of 633.77MB/s, which was consistent with our previous benchmarking results (CrystalDiskMark and AS SSD benchmark). Only 4 seconds were needed to copy a 2.5GB file."

“For users looking for the ultimate storage solutions, there is no other choice than PCI-E SSD. OCZ Z-Drive m84 is outperforming any SATA 2.5” SSDs, not to mention more traditional HDDs. The Z-Drive can be set up without any hassle – we can recommend this PCI-E solution to anybody looking for top performance storage. In addition it’s much more affordable than any previous PCI-E models available on the market.”

EZone Magazine (Hong Kong)
"OCZ Z-Drive m84 is based on PCI-E x8 interface and RAID 0 design. Z-Drive m84 256GB is the fastest MLC drive tested in our lab to date. The ultra-fast performance pushed benchmark results beyond unbelievable 600MB/s. If you are looking to get the best possible write and read performance, this PCI-E drive hits the sweet spot. Only PCI-E x4 interface or over has enough bandwidth to support such speeds."
