Fusion-io announces fastest 640 GB server SSD, 1.3 TB version soon

The Fusion-io solid-state storage drive (SSD) manufacturer has unveiled a new product, the ioDrive Duo. Fusion-io has doubled the storage capacity of the ioDrive Duo by placing two modules on the same board. It now stores up to 640 GB of data, though 1.28 TB versions are coming later this year. TG Daily is as excited about this product as any that we've seen to date.<img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/tgda...4/11XE_Uzmje8" height="1" width="1"/>

Not only is this a big drive, it also has a read speed of 1.5GB/s of continuous throughput. That's NEARLY as fast as the 24 SSD RAID that was set up in another article. It takes up a PCI-E slot.

Impressive. I've been extremely impressed with the rate of improvements going into SSDs. I might be wrong about my impression that they will be closer in price to mechanical HDDs in a year or more.
