"Peterson said the Z-Drive R2 delivers superior sequential read/write performance using eight PCIe I/O lanes. 'In addition, it is the only bootable and field serviceable PCIe SSD option on the market today,' Petersen said.

"The Z-Drive R2 offers data transfer rates of up to 1.4GB/sec and comes in capacities ranging from 256GB to 2TB. The first-generation Z-Drive also had 8 PCIe lanes but each had 500MB/sec throughput for a total data throughput speed of up to 800MB/sec on the drive."
