2GBps = ALL of Office open in 0.5 seconds

Saturday, 31 July 2010

Thanks to Digg, I found this very kewl video of some geek connecting 24 x 256GB solid state drives together via RAID. The result?

  • 2GBps transfer speeds!
  • All of Microsoft Office opens in 0.5 seconds!
  • A complete system defrag in 3 seconds

AMAZING numbers! And while it is a marketing video, the numbers are still amazing! And the 'bounce' test is pretty impressive too!

Price? I've read that it will be around the USD $500 mark, so that is USD $12,000 (or $18,580 AUD) just for the drives! $2,000 AUD per GB! Ouch! I got my Thecus N3200 NAS with 3TB of Seagate Barracuda drives for AUD $1,230.

But we all need a dream :)
