that's a long card.

 

[christop]

I bet it will be 15 grand or more.

That is a LOT of storage. makes my 4.5TB seem puny.

 

[joytech22]

Dear GOD.. That's more memory than in my entire system! (4.2TB)
Faster too..

OMG DEAR SANTA..

 

[twztechman]

I want one for my gaming rig!

"There was no information on the price of the drive."

meaning if you have to ask, you can't afford it

 

[JasonAkkerman]

WANT!

 

[nikorr]

Now, that's what is called a speed demon : )

Considering the original Octal drive costs $100K, the next gen one will be 1.5x - 2x more expensive.

I wonder when bootable pci 3.0 storage cards will becoming out. like to see some benchmarks on those.

5.1TB Octals are $98,000.... so yeah 10TB cards will be more than 15K .. LOL

*Stacks up hard drives* Gulp! Its about half of what I have but it's a heck of alot sexier and faster than a bunch of Samsung F4 drives. Sigh!

 

[Noworldorder]

I can only integrate 2 drives?
Forget it; I need 3....with caching.

 

[CaedenV]

All of the sudden I found a new use for my other PCIe2 16 slot

 

[darkavenger123]

Seriously, 100K?? I'll rather save up for a Ferrari(can i buy a used one for 100K?) than some microchips!

 

[palladin9479]

Why? it wouldn't have any improvement whatsoever.
PCI Express 2.0 x16 = 8 GB/s
this card = 6.7 GB/s
And all fusion io SSD's are all unbootable. OCZ, supertalent and photofast pci-e are all bootable.

Depends what your doing. Run ESXi and put all your VM's boot VHD's onto the IO-drive, *poof* instant boot-ability. If your spending that kind of cash then your not building a gaming rig, your building something for data processing.

There was no information on the price of the drive.

Why make it so long, it wont fit most cases, wouldn't it be better to just make it wider like with videocards? or offer the card in a long configuration as well as a wide one.

It's not designed for a ATX case, it's designed for a full length rackable server. It's low-profile could allow it to fit into a 1U chassis.

 

[alyoshka]

Long card with a long price.... but, I've seen what it does. the price is "somewhat" justifiable.... if I may say....
