World's fastest SSD

I did have a look for it being posted, but didn't find any mention.

The ioDrive Duo fits into PCI Express x8 or x16 slots and can sustain up to 20Gb/sec of raw throughput. The company also says that it can easily sustain 1.5Gb/sec of read bandwidth and nearly 200,000 read IOPS. Sustained read bandwidth is 1500 MB/sec, sustained write bandwidth is 1400 MB/sec, Read IOPS is 186,000, and write IOPS is 167,000.

The product claims to be able to scale from 6Gb/sec of read bandwidth and offer over 500,000 read IOPS when using four ioDrive Duos.

The new cards will be available in April 2009 with 160GB, 320GB, and 640GB. A 1.28TB version isn't coming until the second half of 2009.

WANT.

The press release doesn't mention it but commenters on DailyTech are saying starting prices of 5000 USD which is about £3600.

Shame it's not possible to Crossfire/SLI these to get (theoretically) double the bandwidth and IOPs
