Solid State Drives carries enormous potential, so much we need the PCIe interface to replace the SATA ditto. Fusion-io was quick to adapt and with its business-geared PCI Express Solid State card it had gained a strong position on the storage market. It now intends to broaden to retail and the first stumbling attempts are in the form of the ioXtreme series.
We have reported on ioXtreme in the past and now the first benchmarks have appear as the card has found its way to our colleagues over at HotHardware.
Before a more extensive review it decided to share a quick test in ATTO and it presents some impressive results. Fusion-io's 80GB ioXtreme PCIe SSD sports write speeds over 300MB/s, which is trumped by the read speeds of quite mad 800MB/s.
How well the drive works and if Fusion-io have managed to make the drive bootable is something we hope to learn soon.
