It takes 8 hours 20 minutes to write 15TB over 500MBps. Why would you want to stick one of these in a RAID though?

..it would be more like Redundant Array of Prohibitively Expensive Drives.

(I'll show myself out)



article says 1200MBps.. so more like 3.5 hours.


I wonder how that 1200MBps will hold up with the thermal throttling with their other V-NAND products (SM951/950 Pro), especially when doing a raid rebuild?

I happen to have a 950 Pro, and normal usage keeps the temperature at reasonable levels (though I stuck heatsinks on mine), but this is much more dense (512 vs 2 on the 950 Pro).


FusionIO drives (PCIe attached flash storage) have serious heat sinks. The heat sinks are not for show.

I get about 2GByte/second sustained. It's fun :)


i remember the times when RAM of this speed was something to brag about... guess i'm getting old.


RAPD is a catchy acronym.


You mean RAPED?
