Photo Fast builds SSD with read speed of 750MBps

Fast Photo, a Taiwanese manufacturer of computer components, has a solid state drive delivered via pci-e with the computer communicates. That would be a significant speed gain compared to SATA drives deliver.

The Taiwanese company Fast Photo, last summer a home-based SSD SDHC cards presented, will now operate the business segment. The latest SSD from the company, with a pci-express x8 interface is fitted, hot words' G-Monster-PCIe SSD and would boast impressive performance. Photo Fast follows his drive in the footsteps of OCZ that during the Cebit trade show a SSD with pci-express interface demonstrated.

According to the specifications would be a G-Monster-card read speed of 750MBps can get, while the writing is not far to 700MBps with remains. That would include speeds are made possible by a hardware raid controller and built-cache memory. According to the makers, the drives with MLC and SLC memory is equipped with the capacity of the former type of memory would be up to 1TB. The pci-express cards would weigh approximately 680 grams and 230mm long. Photo Fast made no prices for the G-known samples, but they are provisional Fudzilla would only be available in Japan.

Reminds me of that PCI RAM drives past.
Even so full that you could plug plugs with memory strips.

There is not much changed if you compare it, principle remains the same.
it's still a plug, is then soldered memory (instead of once), the biggest difference is that the data is retained after a power cycle.

Since the speed does not get them out now is not the SATA300 speeds. let alone that they have a direct pci-e speed could benefit.

wants you not your pci-e slots fill up with disks, which do you want with a cable to your motherboard are. (space)

SSD's but it is handy, because that is the SATA300 speeds may increase.

This is nothing other than a raid controller pci-e (which are some) with the card as the hard disks instead of soldered with a cable.

Only a pity if those slots are filled with GPUs and a sound card. There will be quite a change mobo designs for PCI-e SSD's become commonplace. Especially in the beginning, because most consumers who now have money for a SSD, have a CF or SLI setup.

Hopefully it is an extra incentive to make smaller GPUs instead of these mega dual slot things. One of the reasons why that happens because it can still be purchased. If you run in SLI or Crossfire sometimes use 4 slots. Most have max 7 but that means there are only 3 left. Bit ridiculous really seems to me? Hopefully at this important and PCI-E GPU's also smaller and more efficient Building.

And personally I do not know so very many cards in PCI-E connected. Most cards are on PCI GPUs, which controllers after and here and there a sound card.

Or you can hope Sata600 not huge mainstream and they immediately move to a higher / faster variant. (and then hope that the SSD's also not fast storms.)
