1.6TB SSD Drive - GoFuckYourself.com

DateDoc · 08-06-2011, 06:17 AM

Smart Modular's 1.6TB Optimus SSD reads up to 1GB/s, claims to be the largest and fastest.

We love us a good speed record and today's comes paired with another superlative: biggest and baddest. Smart Modular Technologies just announced the Optimus SSD, a drive with up to a record 1.6TB in storage that can also read up to a gigabyte of data per second. The 2.5-inch drive also promises write speeds of 500MB/s and will be available in smaller 200GB, 400GB, and 800GB capacities, in addition to that 1.6TB monster. No word on pricing except that Smart Modular insists they'll be "cost-effective."

bronco67 · 08-06-2011, 09:08 AM

If you do some math based on the average SSd price, you can bet it will be way too expensive for most people.

I have a 250 gb revo SSD in mine doing 750 mb/s (I think)

tiger · 08-06-2011, 04:06 PM

Or you could buy 4 good 1tb drives and put them in Raid 0 and get about the same performance with none of the draw backs of SSDs and a lot more storage for a fraction of the cost.

4 1tb drives in raid 0 wont get close to a ssd in performance.

That seems amazingly fast, am I reading this correct, 500MB per second?
