Well if there's 1000MB per GB, and it's easy enough to get SCSIs with 80MB STRs, you're only needing about 15 of them to easily get 1GB in transfer time. 15 x 40 HDDs is nothing in terms of a datacenter of today.
And given this is about live streaming and gaming - not saving anything - there's no immediate need for backup (redundant) disks, a RAID 0 would do fine thus lowering price. Any saves could be done later, same with any webpage or online content that you want to keep.

It seems the bus systems need to be speeded up to accomodate existing hard drive speeds overall anyway.

Here's an HDD that uses DDR1, it'd need an UPSU for data security (note it loses content if all power is cut off, as with any RAM), and only goes up to 16GB, but picture it done with low latency DDR3 and at larger capacities (there's loads of server motherboards using various RAM standards that take 64GB of RAM for example):

And then there's this:

Call me old-fashioned, but it don't look like they're worried about anyone stealing their ideas given the details gone into for the technology there. So they must have it pretty close to completion at least, all patented and so forth. In fact, if I were to place a wager on it I'd say such tech is being held back purposely though not by the folks wanting to roll it out of course.

Don't get me wrong, best I can afford just now would be a set-up with 3 drives max. But this whole worlds been set-up wrongly from the outset, the reason we're so backward technologically is the same reason we're so backward with doing technology correctly - renewable and non-polluting etc. The economy is a big sham that serves a greedy few and it's based on war and destruction, not progress and good-living.

There is no Ethernet solution capable of 2 microsecond end to end latency. While switches may appoach 200 ns switching latency, the best RDMA (iWARP) numbers over 10 Gigabit Ethernet are around 7 microseconds for the MPI protocol.

Myrinet may get better, but Myrinet requires Myrinet switches, not Ethernet switches, plus, published Myrinet 10G numbers are based on back to back server connections (no switch).

InfiniBand (which is a standard, not a "wanabe" standard), current shows MPI latencies of about 1.2 microseconds using the latest Mellanox ConnectX host channel adapters connected with a double data rate switch.

As much as Fulcrum and others like to think they will attack the same HPC clustering market InfiniBand current addresses, the real market for low-latency Ethernet (using iWARP) will be the much larger market where 10 usec to 15 usec latency is good enough, not the sub 5 usec latency market, which will remain InfiniBand.

It will take more than just a few consumer drives raided together to get you to 10GE! Even a NetApp 3070 $400K filer can't fully saturate a 10GE! Trust me on this, I have one! Take 10 300GB 10K SAS drives and RAID them together in RAID-5 using a high end PERC5/e card, and you'll get 200MB/s (1.6gbit). 10GE just isn't even useful in the desktop environment yet. It can only just barely be used in the data center (mostly for link aggregation).

What about live video or the ability to run large back end programs through terminals which up till now sucked because the connection speed was slower than my mother in walgreens with a stack of coupons.

arcanes, nobody's arguing that a faster storage solution wouldn't be nice, but that's not the thing that 10GbE is useful (read: necessary) for. Mainly it's streaming video. Not just video files, mind you, but rather uncompressed video output streams as the author mentions. 

Two words: remote interface! Put your computer over here, watch your movies and play games and crap on your awesome, expensive flatscreen that I don't have, over -there-! Now flatscreens can enjoy their solitude- the PC is akin to a CRT display, and is noisier to boot, so isn't it a rather mundane leap of logic to move it somewhere else and keep only the display output in the living room?

Coward, what do you mean by a-sync VLSI? More specifically, how is it used to advantage here... it's a full-duplex connection, no? Or at least can go the same speed both ways? I just don't see how the async part helps them out- of course the VLSI does; without it there'd be a stack of tubes the size of a large house to accomplish the same thing. Also, FYI it's usually called ULSI these days. Why the continuous changing is necessary, I know not.

And that's not even pushing fibre tech to anywhere near it's current limits.

And RAIDS are very commonplace in mid-range rigs - lots of well-priced motherboards come with 0, 1, and 10 onboard, and many have 5 also. Large capacity drives with decent caches and seek / read times don't cost that much.
eg - 3 x 500 gig drives (7200rpm, 3 platters on each, 16 cache) is just under £200, 180 quid in many places.
Plus there's already solid state hard drives available too.

Plus it's not an issue when it comes to downloading video & audio and watching TV, and with online games there's other considerations that assist in the hard drive usage speed - you need enough RAM (which keeps getting cheaper and faster) to be holding the data in real-time as it writes to the drive, and obviously good video card(s) (and even physics cards) so the GPUs take that load off the CPUs, and there's already network cards too (& some onboard versions of that) that take the network traffic tasks away from the CPUs.

Speaking as a radio amateur, the 1 Watt limit on emission standards in the 2.4Ghz band is hardly something to worry about. My triband HT (handy talkie) outputs 5 Watts, and is placed much closer to my head when I'm using it. The human body is also much more susceptible to RF radiation on frequecies that my radio operates on.

If you have a window on the side of your computer case, or if you leave the case off all together, you're probably emitting more RF than a typical wifi card of 200mW or less.

One thing I will agree on is that unless you're surfing the web, wifi really is teh sux0rs. :)

The secret sauce behind Fulcrum's performance is their use of asynchronous VLSI technology... this gives low power and low latency. It may be hard for established companies to match their price and performance using standard design methods.

When talking about 10G Ethernet connection, everyones forgets that it's almost useless. 

why? becuase of the hard drivers of course. SATA, at the maximum, can operate at the speed of 3GB/s. and I haven't heard of the hard drive who can even manage to transfer at that speed. so for 10G Ethernet connection to be useful, you need a raid array of a couple hard drivers, and that is not so inexpensive.

The bottom line is this: we need a faster storage solution :)

Yep, the problem with wireless is that it obviously and painfully does fry your head.

Networking hardware is currently in the same place that IBM-compatible and Apple PCs were at when they first became things people bought for the home - ie, you can only buy them pre-built.

It's somewhat concerning that 10 gig Ethernet is seen as being still out of reach for home networking though - in China and South Korea and Japan, and in some European countries (not the one I live in of course), fibre-optics to the home, for internet connections, already exist and have been around for a while.

Fiber's way faster than 10 gig, and of course more secure - it's not exactly easy to spy on a fibre link even if you manage to cut into the cable without disrupting the transmission.
