Fusion-io, a new player in storage solution provider from Utah, has introduced a better alternative storage, the Fusion-io ioDrive. The ioDrive is based on a revolutionary silicon-based storage architecture known as ioMemory, improves storage performance by a “thousand fold” while simultaneously providing sustained, random access rates “hundreds of times faster” than the industry?s fastest storage devices. The card is a PCIe storage card which can be slotted into motherboards with a free PCIe slot. The memory card’s specifications are very impressive: 800MB/sec read speed, 600MB/sec write speed, and 100,000 IOPS (input/output per second) per PCIe x4 card. The card also provides high service life of eight years compared to the five year service life of mechanical hard drives. And finally when ioDrive’s ioMemory start to fatigue, the result is a reduction in available free space rather than data loss or sudden failure.
