Move over Fusion-io, there’s a new PCI-Express SSD in town and it puts paltry ioXtreme to shame. PhotoFast has a new blindingly-red PCI-Express SSD that boasts read speeds of 1.4GB/s and write speeds of 1.5MG/s. It comes in sizes up to 960GB, with OS support for pretty much every operating system currently breathing.
However, from viewing their Specs page (Google Translation here), I find a few inconsistencies:
- An MTBF of 1.5Million Hours? That’s 173 Years.
- It’s only x8 PCI-Express 2.0, not x16
- “Crashworthiness” of 1300G? I don’t know what that means, but I’m sure something got lost in translation.
No pricing on their site yet, but it looks interesting. Personally, I’ld stick with something a bit more “industry proven” myself, but this is one to watch.
