- tymez, on 04/01/2009, -0/+22Damn right. I wonder if this will sell for under $4,000?
- Emachine, on 04/01/2009, -1/+17Who cares about sequential read/write... Random read/write is a better measure of actual performance, and they never post it..
- LiquidIse, on 04/01/2009, -1/+12Lonely Island has a song about what I just did.
- meierm01, on 04/01/2009, -0/+11Perhaps this article? It's a long one, but good info...
http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=35 ... - Pr0v0st, on 04/01/2009, -0/+10Won a boat trip?
- ProfChaosOmega, on 04/01/2009, -2/+9That's not funny anymore.
- WillDearborn, on 04/01/2009, -1/+8Actually it needs a x8 slot. x8 at least electrically. You'd probably use a x16 physical slot.
- unknamed, on 04/01/2009, -0/+7I don't think you understand what is going on here.
- justaboutdead, on 04/01/2009, -0/+7i don't see why it's not a rig. check out the definition:
rig: -noun; apparatus for some purpose; equipment; outfit; gear: a hi-fi rig; - DeathRay2K, on 04/01/2009, -0/+6All that we've seen is a 3D render and an April 1 press release...
- TheGrOgStEr, on 04/01/2009, -0/+6With OCZ's Z-Drive announced long ago, I don't see why this would be fake. $1500 or something for 1TB z-drive.
One shortcoming of SSD are its stuttering on the cheaper ones. RAIDed SSD's (as long as there's cache involved) fixed that problem.
The space allocation is another thing - CIAVT, on 04/01/2009, -0/+4Well, as a video editor, sequential is important to me. Finally able to stream 4k or above? Thinking of how many uncompressed HD streams I could have going at once.......<drool>
- AngelBunny, on 04/01/2009, -0/+4Is this fake? The pic shows a pci-e 4x? At revision 2.0 of pci-e z 4x is capable of 2GB/s so 1GB/s up and down. This makes sense but the overhead would be around 20 to 30% approx, if I remember right. The only realistic option for this as a pci-e without overhead is pci-e 3.0 which isn't out yet and that makes me question if this is a fake. Am I wrong?
- Gizza, on 04/02/2009, -0/+3Doing flips 'n *****?
- JonForTheWin, on 04/02/2009, -0/+3We have a FusionIO card in on of our FreeNX servers at work serving about 80 people. OpenOffice Writer starts in an 8th of a second.
- Jonjonr6, on 04/02/2009, -0/+3This is for real. Check Fusion IO
http://www.fusionio.com/
They've had this for several months.
This IS the future of "hard drives" - ATL, on 06/20/2009, -0/+2ahhh its funny cuz its called the Super Talent RAID drive.
Took me a second to see what you did there... - sadisticmind, on 04/01/2009, -1/+3why would you have an item like this with a motherboard that ONLY has PCI-e x1?
xxxx.xx=Raid Driver
120.00 MOBO with 2 PCI-e x16 - inactive, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2Many thanks! Killer article...should submit it to digg lol.
- kd420, on 04/01/2009, -1/+3I know, and it would be the only thing I'd use a SSD for anyways. It would be for a OS drive only, with media on much cheaper regular hard drives.
- Enchorito, on 04/02/2009, -1/+3You're on a boat?
- Crucible1001, on 04/01/2009, -1/+3SATA has data transfer rate limitations much lower than a PCI-e slot. Even later revisions of SATA yet to come out are slower than this PCI-e card.
This card is not battery backed. It uses SSD technology. - Pyrolistical, on 04/02/2009, -1/+2Make 8 GB x 16 channel with PCI-E x16 and sell it for $200 and I'll buy one.
- AtomicTheory, on 04/01/2009, -1/+2"Rig" also refers to the hypodermic needle and syringe used in injecting illicit substances.
- cfuse, on 04/02/2009, -1/+2Mainly because it sucks dog dick. Hard.
- mrsteveman1, on 04/01/2009, -0/+1If i pay $4000 for one, it better ***** SOMETHING
- Strongwings, on 04/02/2009, -0/+1Close but no cigar
- cs005483, on 04/03/2009, -0/+1I had this down as an April fools joke but it looks like it is the real deal.
- merky1, on 04/01/2009, -8/+9But how does this address the shortcomings of SSD? Just switching the bus doesn't change the fact that there are serious flaws in the space allocation mechanisms for SSD. Anandtech had a nice write up on this a while back.
- inactive, on 04/02/2009, -1/+2well with my new rig i'll be inject lots of illicit substances
- inactive, on 04/01/2009, -3/+3Someone is super talented with 3D Studio MAX
- Archon810, on 04/01/2009, -2/+2Why would I want to clutter my PCI slots when I can get SATA disks instead? For probably a lot less money. Battery backed? I'd rather get a proper PCI RAID card, take up 1 PCI slot with it, and connect as many hard drives as it supports.
- inactive, on 04/01/2009, -4/+4I'll take 2...... the price should be reasonable by the time I build my next rig next yr
- themastersb, on 04/01/2009, -7/+4This looks like something that will actually give my PCI-e 1x slots a purpose.
- serif69, on 04/01/2009, -7/+3But will it...
ah ***** it. - eSentrik, on 04/01/2009, -12/+7An essential component for anyone wishing to run Crysis...
- ProfChaosOmega, on 04/01/2009, -7/+2it doesn't seem logical that it can write faster than it can read.
april fools joke? - chuckseven1, on 04/01/2009, -5/+0Haha, what part don't you need to run Crysis?
- MaynardsTool, on 04/01/2009, -9/+3Please don't call it a rig. I know I'm being a dick, but seriously semi-trucks are rigs, offshore oil platforms are rigs, ships employ rig...ging. Computers are not rigs... unless you play a lot of WoW, then by all means, call a rig, or perhaps it's a girlfriend; no matter what you call it, it won't make it better.
- Strongwings, on 04/01/2009, -7/+1HAHAHAHA... that's gross. But hilarious!
