PCI-E SSD Does 1000 MB/sec.
PhotoFast's new G-Monster-PROMISE PCIe SSD claims to be the first in the industry to reach 1000 MB/s
PhotoFast's new G-Monster-PROMISE PCIe SSD--so new its not even listed on the official website as of this writing--claims to be the first SSD device in the industry to reach 1000 MB/s. In appearance alone, the device, connecting to an x8 PCI-e slot, looks huge, possibly eating up two or three physical spaces on the motherboard. That may not be the case, as the actual dimensions are 10.63-inches x 4.75-inches x 1.71-inches, and weighs just over two pounds.
However, despite its seemingly unusual size, the SSD comes with a great benefit: super-fast read and writes of 1000 MB/sec and 1000 MB/sec respectively, making it around three to five times faster than standard SATA solutions thanks to the PCI-e connection. According to the company, the G-Monster-PROMISE will appear in three flavors: 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB. The drive also supports MLC flash, and offers 256 MB of ECC DDR II and SDRAM memory.
PhotoFast also revealed that the device has a MTBF of around 2,500,000 hours, and a data retention of five years. The SSD not only supports S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), but has a high reliability based on its internal BCH 15-bit Error Code Correction technology. Unfortunately, the device isn't even available in Japan until the middle of May, and more than likely won't hit North American shores for a while. As for pricing, according to this flyer, the 128 GB version will cost a whopping $1600USD, and the 1 TB version will cost $4500USD. Ouch.
........
dang straight "Ouch".
Is that not 4 flavors?
Strange for decades we were spinning something to read or write. look now... last 2 years and we are boosting to extreem speeds
although if im not mistaken you still wouldnt be able to use it as an os disk (at least for the time being)
I bet this thing is ONLY optimized for sequential read/writes
Emergency! I also hear there's a Baskin-Robbins that doesn't actually serve 31 flavors. Thank you anal police!
how could they have missed it?
g-monster 1tb gpb 4500/1024= 4.395 per gig
4500/1000 per read write over all score =88.999
intel x25-m 160gb cost =630/160=3.936
write= 630/70=9 ouch read=630/250 2.52 over all=89.30 but that really bad write
finally ocz vertex 120gb price =385/120=3.208 best
read 385/250= 1.54 best write 385/140= 2.75 over all13.586
that will show you something go cheap and go raid woot. but my test are just by the number not real world performance.scores ocz 13.586 intel89.3 gmonster=89.99

Amazing is the word indeed.
