OCZ Technology will demonstrate a pre-production version of its new flagship Vector SSD Series for PCI Express (PCIe) interfaces at CES.

In addition to showcasing the PCIe-based Vector Series, OCZ will also present its portfolio of enterprise and consumer SSDs, as well as enterprise software used to cache, virtualize or accelerate key applications and associated data.

Driven by its Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller, the PCIe-based Vector SSD Series has improved input/output operations per second (IOPS) burst performance and according to OCZ, it delivers superior 'real-world' sustained performance regardless of whether the data streams are in compressed or uncompressed formats.

Residing directly on the PCIe bus, this new addition to the Vector Series provides lower latency to data, faster file transfers and boot-ups, expanded storage capacities, and an more responsive experience over the SATA III-based Vector SSDs.

The Vector PCIe SSD Series supports high-performance Windows-based laptops, desktops and workstations with 4 lanes of PCIe Gen 2 in full-height (FH) and half-height (HH) formats. Its suite of flash management tools deliver drive endurance and data reliability in support of 100 GB host writes per day for 5 years.

In addition to the Vector PCIe SSD demonstration, OCZ will showcase a range of client and enterprise solid-state storage solutions at this year's CES.
