more than you have

Not necessary, just set up a software RAID array.

Imagine about four of these in a striped array. Would possibly match Tom's 3.4 GB/s story from the other day without needing a place to put 16 SSD's.

[citation][nom]ravaneli[/nom]These are nothing new. There is internal RAID0 in the drive. The bigger drives are just more RAIDs. Itel G2 is still far superior, and you can make the raid yourself. You can buy as many as you need. G2 $/GB is supposed to be no higher than OCZ[/citation]
Drinking the intel coolaid.

Just a bunch of drives raided together, so what makes it special?

Great products, but $1500 for 450 read? just get 2 intel drives and a raid controller, it would be cheaper and faster.

[citation][nom]christop[/nom]what is the point if you can't boot from it????[/citation]

Some people should read the comments already posted before posting themselves.

If you follow the link in the story to the Hot Hardware site you'll easily see:
"For use as primary boot drive or data storage"

Or you could read the comments already posted which say this.

i am sick of 128gb SSDs with 220 MB/S speeds. a 1TB with 900MB/S is what i will get if going to SSD. i will pay up to 800 bucks for it but not more.

Give it a few years, the price will have to come down. This technology is so hot right now. Once they can find a way to mass manufacture this stuff...I can't wait. HD Video editing will be a breeze.

Sheesh...that's fast. I already felt outdated with 140MB/s writes on Samsung 120GB. This makes me feel...ashamed
