Join us at the MAST Center labs to see what NAND can really do

[jultspub]

They're running XP x64 Edition, for those interested..

It'd be nicer to have a comparison about some of those numbers (sorry I don't know what an I-OPS is) but I do know what 800 megabyte write speeds mean!

I think it'd be a bit weird to plug in any sort of storage device in to a PCI-E slot so I would imagine that some new high(er) bandwidth bus other than SATA or USB is most likely in the works.

jabcreations, A high end harddrive will do around 250 IOPS (Input Output Operations per Second) This card does 200,000 IOPS. That is 80,000% faster. Do you now get why the guy can't stop smilling.

[karlsruheprotestful]

@jabcreations SATA 6Gbps, HDSL and Light Peak are on its way!

[wowcolors]

Okay both these guys are so creepy...

[jabcreations]

To be fair let's consider which skills they have concentrated on improving...not acting obviously but the end result will be us with much faster hardware in the next few years. :-)

[vothry]

This video felt sketchy. Get out of the guy's grill.

[Shadowmaster625]

Dean, what you should do is contact AMD and try to sell this technology to them. That way they can integrate a 16 channel SSD controller into their CPUs and motherboard manufacturers can place a DIMM slot on their motherboards. Then we can just buy a 8GB or 16GB SSD DIMM for $50 and get the same kind of performance. They're going to do it eventually, so you may as well make Micron some money from licensing fees. Imagine if every computer had a 16GB SSD with those kinds of IOPs, for cheap!

scary...

[Flashbackxxx]

He win a lottery xD

HUN: Tényleg mármár kicsit kéjenc mosolya van. De kinek ne lenne?????? :D

[saleall]

he is so glad that he keep smiling all the time. haha. IO-drive. yea micron is not the first one. keep on the good work, we just went the best drive that comes out trough several challenging companies. ;)

[BibabumseBert]

"pcie... slaaats!" :D

[SPANKiEPANTS]

LOL He looked VERY pleased with himself.

[sangolt88]

SSD er fremtiden!

[gulllars]

Great, another vendor on the market offering the same as what Fusion-IO has already had on the market for over a year now, ioDrive. The specs are almost excactly the same too. But this is a good thing, SATA is no place for a SSD.

I hope this could change the way SSD is going as HDD replacement. They each have a good side. HDD is bulk storage, SSD is performance. Why try running a performance drive as a bulk storage impersonator?

[blackworx]

SSD will overtake magnetic for density pretty soon. Having bulk magnetic atm only makes sense because SSD is in its (relative) infancy

[charliebravo7]

damn thats hot +.+

but the guys are really scary xD

[nicouh]

that guy behaves so wierd. on the other hand the camera man sounds like some kind of porno actor talking in the 'background'

[Mocib]

Maybe it's because that IS porn for them, and for many others too, like me :)

[666amgod]

those guys scare me but i would love to enjoy that speed on my pc :)

[VirtRampage]

he sounds high

[Chrononyx]

Joe's voice is so god damn annoying, can't he talk normally?

[flamerail]

Stop smiling every time you try to talk... Its misleading.

[worzelhund]

I thought exactly the same xD

[moneyman10k]

they are senior engineers and the guy is talking to his boss on camera, this isn't what they're used to and they're just having a good time. And I can tell it isn't what you're used to either, because you've totally misread them. Go outside and get some more experience with people

[runeketa]

I'm currently studying EE, and I figure that if I had developed that kind of hardware, I'd be fucking smiling all of the fucking time. I mean, those numbers are giving me a hard on as we speak.

[blackworx]

SSD chubby lol :D

[lolwutpears]

I can't wait for manufacturing to become cheaper, and prices come down.

[thepts]

Prices are already pretty decent if you don't need to store half the internet on your drive, and next year the SSD avalanche will start for real.

[youtubasoarus]

What sort of applications do you figure these cards will be most suited for? My first guess would be web and database servers. Sounds exciting!
