hey guys,
read this in a magazine and wondered if it might interest anyone. looks like a solid state drive but is on your PCI-E slot. anyone already heard of this? price is steep so im thinking it will be a novelty item for a few more years.

Yeah its more of an enterprise product at this stage. FusionIO are apparently going to release a consumer product of 80GB called the Ioxtreme in the first quarter of this year though. Price is going to be "under $1000. Given the current state of world economics though, they may have decided to postpone production of such a high end consumer part.
I've interviewed the execs and played with the product for several hours. It does everything as advertised and is expensive.Quote:

The regular model isn't aimed at the home user, rather it's for enterprise servers that are running heavy i/o intensive tasks (databases, etc).

Excellent product but if they wait one year then 24G of system ram will be common enough and at least for us there won't be a market.
ok thanks guys for the replies. i figured this was something of a blast from the past, as i do remember in older systems, the RAM were in ISA slots. ISA? wtf?
anyway, hopefully we'll see something useful and more affordable in the future.
