Super Talent Develops 2048 GB PCIe RAID SSD with 1.3 GB/sec Throughput

I have just tested the 250mbs Intel drives alongside an Mtron 7500 and Core OCZ ( advertised at 170mbs) SSD, and to be honest, there is a very small difference in performance in our application.

Using a 3.2ghz MacPRO with 8800GT graphics card, compared to an Mtron and OCZ SSD drive, the Intel only managed one layer more of content when tested on AIC movies ranging from 1920 x 1080 to 720 x 576.

And the 80gb Intel is over double the price of a 128gb OCZ - at present, not worth the extra money for less capacity and only one layer performance increase.

As Richard said in a post elsewhere, the bottleneck has now moved from the hard drive to elsewhere in the computer.

I am also rather skeptical of buying a product from a company who's logo looks like the sign on a bowling alley

A PCIe ssd harddrive could be really interesting... since it connects directly to the I/O Hub on the logicboard. I'm curious what the effect is since the I/O controller is not used for throughput... Or do I make a mistake? is the I/O controller still in use for controlling the data via the I/O hub?

curious, curious...look at the picture of the logicboard...
