Fusion ioDrive (http://www.overclock3d.net/news.php?/storage/fusion_iodrive_-_as_powerful_as_1000_hard_drives/1)

640GB yes GIGABYTES of NAND Flash!

Moving one 8GB file in 4KB packets in... 5 SECONDS

Just. Oh My God!

But the $20'000 price tag could be an issue.

That is so cool!

I'll wait for the 1.2Tb version, then buy two.

I saw a card similar to this already that used regular DIMM's in it.. you could populate it with 4 - 4gb sticks to get 16gb of storage, and it was non-volatile (battery backup to retain data).

I cant recall who made it, but i'll look it up and try to post a link. I'm pretty sure that one was about $300, +the ram.

gigabyte.. Iram or something..
but this device works differently. On tom's hardware video, where I saw it, they say it is a system made of 100 parallel channels, good to replace a thousand normal drives in raid... and it is working on pci express, not a normal pci.. huge bandwidth upgrade.
still, with this much a price on it.. I'd rather buy a car ;)

What is the most interesting thing is, I believe it's working on PCI-E1x

It looks too big for that. I'd say it's PCIe 4x

You're right, it is PCI-E 4x.

it was the Gigabyte I-Ram, here (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10505) is the thread on it.

At $30 a gig a 40gb would come in at $1200 which after a bit of mass production might be bought down to $1000 and may start appearing in top of the line gaming machines. Don't hold your breath though.

Maybe you could have a even smaller one like 20gb and have like the OS and a game or two on it. Then have a 320gb disk in there for your other files and movies.
