You may remember the lovable yet rascally ioDrive PCIe card from Fusion which we told you about back in the sun-drenched, salad days of September. Well, we’ve gotten a few more details on the “SAN in the palm of your hand,” and we thought we’d share. As you’ll recall, the card is meant to deliver very high, sustained read / write speeds, allowing the ioDrive to perform “nearly a thousand times faster than any existing disk drive.” Well, the good folks at Fusion have now given the system a price — the card starts at $2,400 — and offered up some fresh info, like that the ioDrive is NAND flash-based, will support multiple terabytes of virtual memory, and has access rates on par with DRAM. Which is real fast. Hit the link for a lot more info, and don’t be afraid to peruse the company’s .pdf data sheet.
