Much in the same vein as OCZ's Z-Drive, Super Talent's RAIDDrive combines a number of SSDs and gives them a PCI Express interface (in this case, in a Gen 2.0 8x configuration) to shift data at super fast speeds. Super Talent is claiming sequential read speeds up to a blistering 1.4GB/s and sequential writes up to 1.2GB/s. You don't need me to tell you that is fast, I'm sure. While it seems that Super Talent is going after the server and workstation markets with these drives, it is also shipping a model aimed at enthusiasts and gamers looking to get the most performance from their storage. The RAIDDrive GS comes in capacities up to 2TB and comes configured as either a RAID 0 or RAID 5 volume.
Now, when it comes to the bottom line, it is a question that if you have to ask you probably can't afford it. The 1TB RAIDDrive GS is quoted at $4,999, with that price being for OEMs and system integrators. Super Talent will also be demonstrating the RAIDDrive at the upcoming Intel Developer Forum, September 22-24 in San Francisco.
