Super Talent today announced its patented RAIDDrive™, which dramatically increases the performance and slot capacity of PCI Express-based storage solution. The new RAIDDrive is the market’s largest and most innovative server-based solid-state storage solution, and an extension of its patented technology from the RAIDSSD™ product lines.

Patriot Warp Series V2 Solid State Drives (SSD) is the latest in storage technology.

SSDNow M Series drives increase performance with the impressive input and output operations per second (IOPS), a result of the drive’s NAND Flash components and the powerful Native Command Queuing. With higher IOPS than a standard mechanical hard disk drive (HDD), SSDNow M Series allows for faster boot times and faster application loads than HDDs, ultimately making a power user more productive.

A SanDisk G3 SSD drive is dragged behind a car and still has better performance than an 7200 RPM HDD.

We ran a SanDisk solid state drive for a ride through a dryer and it still boots faster than a hard disk drive. See the dryer test here! For more information on SSD’s, check out: www.driveyourlaptop.com

(As a quick point of reference, ten years ago state -of-the-art servers were running 450MHz Xeon processors with up to 2MB of L2 cache.) The result of this lopsided performance improvements is a serious performance bottleneck, especially for … I would have really like to see single drive performance of SAS 15K drives vs SSDs .

mac-ssd-drives.com A low-price SSD disk drive upgrade for my aging 1st generation Core Duo MacBook proved easy and fast do to. Taking advantage of a rebate, I found a bargain on a 30GB cheap Solid Series MLC solid state drive from OCZ for under $75 and installed a clean OS X 10.5 Leopard onto it in half the time it’d normally take. To maximize performance, I also doubled the RAM in my MacBook to minimize disk swaps to virtual memory

To me, if the SSD drive manufacturers lose money, it’s their own fault for building crap that has higher write latencies than old fashioned drives with metal discs spinning at 7200RPM or slower. Not anandtech’s. …

Super Talent today announced that it is now shipping both the UltraDrive ME and UltraDrive LE families of Solid State Drives (SSDs). Super Talent’s 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB UltraDrive LE and 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB UltraDrive ME are immediately available in production volumes.
