There are SSDs (http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/16/corsair-force-series-3-ssds-sandforce-speed-for-modest-money/) and then there are SSDs (http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/10/runcores-1tb-sata-iii-ssd-is-3-5-inches-and-1tb-big-500mb-s-fa/) -- the Texas Memory Systems (TMS) RamSan-70 is definitely the latter, packing 900GB of high-speed SLC NAND flash onto a single half-length PCIe card. Boasting an incredible 2GB-per-second sustained external throughput, this near-terabyte solid state drive is clearly overkill for most of us, considering that it's guaranteed to have a sky-high price (once details are released). Instead, the "900GB Gorilla," as it's come to be known around TMS HQ, is destined for high-end servers -- though we certainly wouldn't object to clearing out a slot in our desktop, if by some miracle we can afford this monster when it starts shipping in four to eight weeks.
