@bumtownv2 So far the only Bootable card(OCZ) out still has to use SATA, but still switches over to the faster PCI after startup. Apparently these fusion io drives arent bootable yet because the company is working on a SATA-free, software based solution.
@guyverman All those stupid sata SSDs are just a waste of money. I can buy a Raptor drive for half the price of a sata ssd. The sata ssds only improve seek time.
This looks time be the future. The Sata interface is too slow and sata 3.0 still has all that unnecessary crap that slows down the drive. I'm just saying wait for them to work out the kinks with this type of ssd rather that buy a sata one.
this is great i know military storage uses a procesor as a hardrive but iosan can do 200 thousand iops 2 terabyte of space and 1.5 gbps ram san 440 can do 600 thousand but ibm reached 1 million iops already
Does anyone know where I can find out more info about the IO-xtreme? What interface will it be PCIe x4 (like their enterprise level card) or PCI, and will it be a bootable drive on release date or will you have to wait for a driver update?
This is the future, not the stupid SATA SSDs. When the price goes down I'll buy one for sure, but I'll never buy a sata ssd.

Great for database servers... even at $1000 it's not ready for desktop...

That's the Fusion-io website.
There's a spec sheet

"The ioXtreme will be priced at under $1000 and be available for home and consumer use in Q1,
2009."
From the press release. That will be the 80 GB version. Maybe he thought about the 640GB version instead when he said $7000?

7 thousand dollars. I can't imagine even the nuttiest extreme gamer would spend that much money on a fusion-io drive.

That must be their high-end stuff for servers. They said the consumer model is under $1,000.
