UTTERLY AMAZING, see this review, shame the 80GB version is $3000: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/16...fusion_io_iodrive_pcie_solid_state/index.html

they should jump straight to these type of speeds, instead of messing around with the crappy SSD's we have now

we want ram speeds

Just amazing, finally a major leap in disk performance.

Give it 2 years, this should be affordable... assuming we have jobs haha

yep, ssd's should stop being developed for desktops, just license this technology from fusion-io and start mass producing it, countless times faster than harddrives, many times faster than ssd's.

No battery backup on this by the looks of it so it's not going to be much good unless you do a image copy from a SSD to the RAM disc on boot if you want it to run your OS!

Would be quite interesting to see a Mac Pro with one of these but I guarantee that it'll not work unless you buy an Apple version costing twice the price!

why would Nand flash require battery backup? :confused:

I can't agree with the original review's rating of 94% for 'value for money'.

Enterprise storage solutions should (and are) evaluated on a needs-only basis.

Imagine when this becomes mainstream! :eek:

We wouldn't need RAM then - just a page file as big as we like

Theres also the likes of hyperdrive5 and stuff on the market, which obv is limited by the sata interface, but each to their own i guess...

Think we'll see this kind of thing soon here?

I'm pretty sure i read that FusionIO have a product targeted at gamers coming out, priced at around $1000 for 80 GB. I'm guessing it just uses MLC instead of the SLC chips that the enterprise version uses, but overall performance numbers won't be too different.

Certainly, this is the right direction for storage to go in - SATA is too limited.

I definitely agree, SATA 6.0gbps won't be anything near enough either
