1TB SSD drive

Quote:

At CeBIT the famous overclocking memory and peripherals maker has demoed Z Drive, a PCI-Express x8 connection storage device that boasts four 256 GB (MLC-equipped) solid-state drives in RAID 0 setup. In total we get 1 TB space and 256 MB of data cache. Put this into a system with a Core i7 965 EE CPU and an ASUS P6T motherboard, get some external power for the drives, and you'll easily reach transfer speeds at up to 712 MB/s read, 500 MB/s write as well as almost zero access time, a dream come true. Now the bad news, the Z Drive is obviously going to cost a lot, about $1500 to be more precise.

Fast but sure as hell not worth the money for the normal person, especially for that much space. If I'm going to buy a TB drive, I'll just spend 100 bucks rather than over a grand. It would be nice to own one though that's for sure.

This would be fucking awesome for video editing. Especially on something like a RAID 10.

Here's a question coming from a computing noob. Is flash memory the only type of solid state non-volatile memory on the market?
