Fastest SSD ever ?

I cannot believe my own eyes when I saw this very high performance of SSD can do up to 770MB/s for read and up to 640MB/s on write with PCI SSD.

Will OCUK bring these in stock for 2010 ?

They are very expensive, and when I say expensive Im talking into the thousands not hundreds.

Ah, I better off stick with other SSD then. It crazy when a small tiny SSD cost more than thousands then the big TV screen with 62" (crazy price for a small SSD)

They are just four Vertex drives striped on a hardware PCI-Express RAID controller. Nothing to stop you building a similar or better performing setup yourself.
Sequential speeds arn't that important anyway, A single SSD will feel very similar to four SSD's in RAID for most things. Kinda like upgrading from a graphics card that can run everything out at 100FPS to one that does 200FPS ... it's faster, but that doesn't actually matter.
