1.6TB SSD Drive
 

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."

/me waiting for prices on SSDs to drop.

lol @ "cost-effective"

i got a 160 gig ssd for my boot drive, 1.6gig is way too high of a price

wow..........

impressive specs but it will cost like $5k probably :(

yap it will be way to fuckin expensive

this is cool ;)

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

Should be great for an iMac.

ive got 12 of those in a raid 0

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

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.

i thought there were already 2tb ones

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