Last month (August 14th), we published a feature story from Paul Adams about the ioXTreme card from FusionIO. From his article:
The new 80 GB ioXtreme from Fusion-io was recently displayed at SIGGRAPH 2009 in New Orleans, LA. The ioXtreme is a solid-state drive (SSD) that fits into a x4 PCI Express slot. The beauty of the using the PCI Express slot is that you can really obtain great performance. Fusion-io is claiming that their drive can achieve a write bandwidth of 500 MB/s and a read bandwidth of 280 MB/s.
While those number match the performance data given to us in Phone Interviews and the DataSheet they handed out at SIGGRAPH (We still have it, & verified it), FusionIO contacted me today requesting a correction.
- Read Bandwidth 697 MB/s (64 KB packets)
- Write Bandwidth 288 MB/s (64 KB packets)
The changes have been integrated into Paul’s original article, go check it out for details on the fastest SSD solution on the market.
