Re: SSD's


Got a rampant thirst for speed? Got enough money to buy yourself a hyper gaming pc? Then go and buy one- a hyper gaming pc that is, (and if its the drive speed you are after then get 24 Samsung SSD's in raid(!)) because this will cost the same amount as one when it comes out in summer/autumn 2009 (Over £10k). Its a PCI based Solid State Drive with a 1.28Tb capacity(PCI means it connects directly to the motherboard, no slow cables eating up your speed)

For the techies:
• Sustained read bandwidth: 1500 MB/sec (32k packet size)
• Sustained write bandwidth: 1400 MB/sec (32k packet size)
• Read IOPS: 186,000 (4k packet size)
• Write IOPS: 167,000 (4k packet size)
• Latency < 50 µsec

For the... 'normies?'
Its fast, faster than you will ever know.
