Thanks to collaboration from LSI, the outfit is expected to deliver its own line of PCI Express-based solid state storage solutions. We're guessing these devices will be similar in scope to the PCIe SSDs already outed by Fusion-io (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/fusion-io-ioxtreme-pci-express-ssd-reviewed-wicked-fast-bloody/) and OCZ Technology (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/oczs-z-drive-pci-express-ssd-gets-exhaustively-reviewed/), but at least initially, they'll be aimed squarely at the enterprise market. We're hoping that's just a beta test (of sorts) and that performance-minded desktop users will be able to snap one up at their local Best Buy in short order -- too bad we've no assurance that these will be priced within the realm of feasibility, though.Seagate teams with LSI to enter PCIe-based SSD game (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/seagate-teams-with-lsi-to-enter-pcie-based-ssd-game/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:26:00 EST.
