Fusion-io's 10 TB Flash Drive Boasts 6.7 GB/s Bandwidth
Fusion-io has doubled the storage capacity in its ioMemory product line with its 10 TB ioDrive Octal.
The drive combines eight 1.28 TB MLC Flash memory modules and is offered in a PCI Express x16 Gen 2.0 Double Wide form factor, which means that the drive consumes two standard PCIe slots. Up to two drives can be integrated in a standard 1U server for a total flash capacity of 20.48 TB.
According to the manufacturer, the 10 TB ioDrive Octal delivers 1.3 million IOPS over a 6.7 GB/s bandwidth. Supported operating systems include 64-Bit Microsoft XP/Vista/Win7/Server 2003/Server 2008, RHEL 4/5/6, SLES 10/11, OEL v5, VMware ESX 4.0/4.1/ESXi 4.1, and Solaris 10 U8/U9 (x64).
"We believe that with the 10 TB ioDrive Octal, even highly data-intensive organizations can house increased amounts of data directly within the server to simultaneously accelerate their business and the efficiency of their data center,” said David Flynn, Fusion-io Chairman and CEO in a prepared statement.
Fusion-io said that the ioDrive Octal will become available in the first quarter of 2012. There was no information on the price of the drive.

I remember the days when the HDD was always the weakest link. The new SSDs seem to have solved the 'mechanical' problem. The HDD is still the slowest component but it's certainly come leaps and bounds!
indeed, but the price is prohibitive to us mortals. I have a small ssd as a system drive but can't afford to go for proper storage yet.
And the price of this thing. whoa i bet you can buy a decent car for the same price
