Fusion-io's 10 TB Flash Drive Boasts 6.7 GB/s Bandwidth
Fusion-io has doubled the storage capacity in its ioMemory product line with its 10 TB ioDrive Octal.
The drive combines eight 1.28 TB MLC Flash memory modules and is offered in a PCI Express x16 Gen 2.0 Double Wide form factor, which means that the drive consumes two standard PCIe slots. Up to two drives can be integrated in a standard 1U server for a total flash capacity of 20.48 TB.
According to the manufacturer, the 10 TB ioDrive Octal delivers 1.3 million IOPS over a 6.7 GB/s bandwidth. Supported operating systems include 64-Bit Microsoft XP/Vista/Win7/Server 2003/Server 2008, RHEL 4/5/6, SLES 10/11, OEL v5, VMware ESX 4.0/4.1/ESXi 4.1, and Solaris 10 U8/U9 (x64).
"We believe that with the 10 TB ioDrive Octal, even highly data-intensive organizations can house increased amounts of data directly within the server to simultaneously accelerate their business and the efficiency of their data center,” said David Flynn, Fusion-io Chairman and CEO in a prepared statement.
Fusion-io said that the ioDrive Octal will become available in the first quarter of 2012. There was no information on the price of the drive.

that's a long card.
I bet it will be 15 grand or more.
That is a LOT of storage. makes my 4.5TB seem puny.
Dear GOD.. That's more memory than in my entire system! (4.2TB)
Faster too..
OMG DEAR SANTA..
I want one for my gaming rig!
"There was no information on the price of the drive."
meaning if you have to ask, you can't afford it
WANT!
Now, that's what is called a speed demon : )
Considering the original Octal drive costs $100K, the next gen one will be 1.5x - 2x more expensive.
I wonder when bootable pci 3.0 storage cards will becoming out. like to see some benchmarks on those.
"I bet it will be 15 grand or more."
5.1TB Octals are $98,000.... so yeah 10TB cards will be more than 15K .. LOL
*Stacks up hard drives* Gulp! Its about half of what I have but it's a heck of alot sexier and faster than a bunch of Samsung F4 drives. Sigh!
I can only integrate 2 drives?
Forget it; I need 3....with caching.
All of the sudden I found a new use for my other PCIe2 16 slot
Seriously, 100K?? I'll rather save up for a Ferrari(can i buy a used one for 100K?) than some microchips!
Why? it wouldn't have any improvement whatsoever.
PCI Express 2.0 x16 = 8 GB/s
this card = 6.7 GB/s
And all fusion io SSD's are all unbootable. OCZ, supertalent and photofast pci-e are all bootable.
Depends what your doing. Run ESXi and put all your VM's boot VHD's onto the IO-drive, *poof* instant boot-ability. If your spending that kind of cash then your not building a gaming rig, your building something for data processing.
one million dollars

I'm sure thousands of enthusiasts drooled at this post.
Doesn't these cards get hot?

I did.
Why make it so long, it wont fit most cases, wouldn't it be better to just make it wider like with videocards? or offer the card in a long configuration as well as a wide one.

It's not designed for a ATX case, it's designed for a full length rackable server. It's low-profile could allow it to fit into a 1U chassis.
Long card with a long price.... but, I've seen what it does. the price is "somewhat" justifiable.... if I may say....
Considering the original Octal drive costs $100K, the next gen one will be 1.5x - 2x more expensive.
Wow. Just nothing for someone that wants keep your data saved and access to them very fast.
I...must...have...it. I have 2 healthy kidneys and a healthy liver. ...and a 12-year-old.
i need one of that
speed up my system
the messed up thing though.. 10 years from now, that card will be obsolete, and we will be able to afford cheaper and better performing ones.

Im not so sure. that's a pci2 device, being released after the last manufacturing run of pci2 intel (maintstream/server) processors.
might be relatively "cheap" (meaning mercedes benz level cost, instead of bentley)
Anybody saw my jaw? I dropped it somewhere
this is like voodoo 6 6000 pci xD
Where's the guy who won't buy one until they come down to $1 per gigabyte? Haven't seen him lately.
