Err, yes it was. I have a little raid chassis (internal hardware controller, presents as a single disk) which shoves 500 megabytes/sec through without problems. The novelty here is size, performance per watt and latency. The throughput is absolutely not unprecedented. You fail, too bad you've never used grown-up hardware.

This is a paradigm. Imagine working with HDDs that operated at such-and-such speed. Now, you plug in this-and-that-SSD that operates with IO at, say, 2-4x than a spindle.

Now. Sit back and watch the OS and drivers crumble. Through-put was never like this. Though SSD introduces exciting advances, its advances are its Achilles. No testing; no verification. Faster and un-validated still sucks next to slower and dependable when it comes to mission critical data.


Its the high tech sectors dirty little secret but I pose the question to the rest of you. How long will it take the competition to reverse engineer these?

Saw Last Months High Perf Desktoppers & for mere$9k can get prebuilt in same SSD speed. Its Revoulution in doing. of 8 listed machines, mentions SSD & double speed Scores. Wow. Its Acoming, Martha, Its' Acoming!

Now for SAD News, After Nearly year of Malicious software removal from Microdates HardTuesday, I find out I had Zlog Virus. What Whimp, I cried for two hours.

SSE4.2 adds 7 inst, usb 3 & finally on 17th of thanksgiving: Retail Nahalem+, Nahalem & lynnhalem, for short tuffed.

Ram Adamndingdong in GDDR5, plus SSD of this Magnatuide & its' ULTEE' Time.
