WANT!

My ssd only gets 50k iops =(

This would be so fantastic to have though

The 1st robot to become self aware and exterminate humanity, will be equipped with one of these.

One more thing... why can't they make something half the power of this unit in 500GB and 1TB flavors designed for the enthusiast? You know damn well this unit costs mucho dinero.

 

[_Pez_]

someone explain me what are IOPS 4K ???

 

[mlopinto2k1]

Input/Output Operations per Second. 4Kilobyte chunks is the industry standard and it can swap these 1mil and 1.5mil chunks per second.

 

[mlopinto2k1]

OK, don't mean to flood... I re read what I wrote and makes me look foolish. _Pez_ - it can write up to 1 million, 4KB chunks of data per second and 1.5 million when writing. It is excellent for servers because of the amount of data being requested and written from thousands of various points.

*reading LOL

 

[memadmax]

omg, my fish flipped upside down as soon as it saw this thing.
I drool for it, in fact I'll take at least 10...

gargle gargle gargle gargle gargle....

I think I need one of these for the Sandy Bridge E system I'm going to build when they become available.

Maybe that's because it's a press release they've both reprinted?

 

[tacoslave]

i would pay 500 bucks for a 500gb version but thats not going to happen

 

[alidan]

this will cost between 10800 and 36000 and its possible this could go down to 7200$ as the bigger a ssd gets the cheaper it gets too. i think the shere amount of ssd storage out weighs the fact its a pcie card ssd, so you probably also wont see the price hike associated with it.

i dont believe the consumer side will see this for quite a long time, at least not withing the next 4-5 years space or speed wise. so it could be a good investment

[citation][nom]TheCapulet[/nom]Nope, just checked the press release. Not the same. Keep in mind, this is Kevin Parrish's article we're talking about.In fact... his plagiarism is better for everyone who reads TH articles. It means that it was more than likely written by a real journalist rather than a second rate blogger.[/citation]

The articles on this site have become pathetic full of blatant spelling and grammatical errors. You’d think that effective journalism and good reporting would be a priority. How about you just fire these sad losers who cannot proofread their work and reprint others stories and hire some of us fans who would actually review the hardware and enjoy it.

If you sell one of kidneys you may be able to buy one of these.

What they don't tell you is the reliability of SSDs. I assumed an SDD was as reliable as a HDD… I was wrong!

Input Output operations Per Second where each IO is a 4096byte block of data.

 

[climber]

Fusion-IOs best offering has better specs in terms of performance and storage capacity, but it uses PCI-E x16 2.0, but it costs $100K

 

[flyordie]

BRB waiting 5 years till I can afford one.

You know what they say, assumption is the mother of all f**k-ups

 

[flowingbass]

Im still sticking to HDDs. I got a really comfy chair to sit in while waiting for windows to boot up and games to load. Or until 2TB SSDs comes down to 100$ level. LOL!
