and utilizes the PCIe bus instead of a sata interface.

and it has it's own onboard controller.

A quick glance at the manual would seem to confirm this is the case.]]>Oct 27th 2009 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/Oct 27th 2009 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/]]>Oct 27th 2009 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/Oct 27th 2009 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/Oct 27th 2009 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/ Mb

Are you sure because I always thought it was MBps and Mb/sec. People always get these mixed up (vs MB/sec and Mbps), not knowing that they mean two completely different things. IDIOTS

man i hate this, its such a dam tease seeing this for some 900$ and knowing it would be like 3 years or so till id break down and buy one for like 400$.

lol at some point it wont be economical to invest in lots of ram anymore, get like 2gb of ram and a kick ass SSD!]]>Oct 27th 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/It will always be economical to invest in RAM. As fast as a good SSD is, the latency and speed of the bus, even PCIe, is much higher than what you get when your memory controller is integrated into your CPU.

You want the speed of the SSD to minimize the impact of going to disk, and you get more RAM to reduce the likelihood of applications in memory being pushed out to disk.]]>Oct 27th 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/
true. however with the new intel chips lynnfield, pciexpress controller is onboard. granted its bandwidth is shared between your pciexpress SSD and your vid card.

i know the general saying is something like:
register 1 cycle
cache 10 cycle
memory 100-1000 cycle
HD 1,000,000 cycles to access

at some point with these SSD's the HD access will be down to like the thousands of cycles, getting close to crappy ram. granted at that point ram access times may be something like 20 cycles, much better than the best SSD.]]>Oct 27th 2009 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/Oct 27th 2009 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/fusion-io-ioxtreme-and-ioxtreme-pro-pci-express-ssds-sneak-out/
