ioDrive Flash Drive – 640GB for $19,000
October 8, 2007 | In: Storage Devices
One of the latest storage devices we mentioned was the LaCie 2big Triple, which can hold up to 2GB of data, but the news for today are about a smaller system that has excellent writing/reading speeds – the ioDrive from Fusion-io.
Basically the ioDrive flash drive has the following speeds:
- 800Mb/sec for reading
- 600Mb/sec for writing
Obviously, for such great specs you get a high price – $19,000 for 640GB, or $2,400 for 8GB. Other versions include 160GB and 320GB which will be released next year.
What is the ioDrive?
The ioDrive™ is the industry’s first, NAND based enterprise storage solution that provides access rates comparable to DRAM with storage capacity on par with disks — being able to improve both memory capacity and storage performance by 100x.
