Fusion IO future OS drives

Sorry for repeating myself!
I just wanted to get the word out on this drive.

This site has the drives...and their own benchmarks as well.

It is a solid state NAND Flash drive utilizing pipelines of the PCI Express connected to the CPU.  Although it's still expensive as in 30 dollars per Gigabyte.  It's main function is to replace SATA/IDE drives for Servers. It's IOPS is well over 100,000. Our current market uses sound/video cards for PCI Express. FUSION IO actually just to a step further and developed the next gen SSD.  The only issues seen would be cost and CPU bottlenecking.  Not necessarily intended for the average consumer.  This would quite literally perform at the same level as 1000 server raided hard drives via Fiber Based SANs. 

I will mention that they will redevelop the cards' drivers to allow an OS to be correctly installed upon them.. As it stands now they are designed for servers for various tasks such as TimeBased Database Management to me wishing I had one simply as a game drive.

Besides Intel's SSDs that are coming out! I am waiting on this drive to revolutionize the market.  Hopefully, someone will get competitive and the price will drop.

Remember not for normal Janes and Joes...30 dollars per GB.

Their highest drive is 640 GB....cost would equate to 19200 dollars. This is way to expensive for normal people...but the company Fusion IO has only intended this for Business/Server markets.

The Link above has one of their promoters explaining the ends and outs of their new product. 

I hope I answered some of your questions...If not the links above should answer the rest.
