OWC Readies SF-2000 Based Mercury Extreme PCI-Express SSDs
Following today's launch of the SandForce SF-2000 series SATA/SAS 6 Gb/s SSD processors, Other World Computing (OWC) announced its first enterprise-grade Mercury Extreme PCI-Express SSDs making use of these controllers. The first products in the company's next-generation Mercury Extreme lineup will start shipping early next year. These include a PCI-Express x16 card with eight SF-2000 series-driven SSDs in an internal RAID, totaling 3.2 TB in capacity, 4,000 MB/s sequential read, and up to 480,000 IOPS. A PCI-Express x8 model is also in the works, perhaps with lesser number of internal SSDs. There's scope for enterprise-grade features making use of SF-2000 series feature-set. SF-2000 series controllers enable features such as native 256-bit AES data encryption, and native command queuing with 32 concurrent operations. Applications of OWC's SSDs include I/O intensive enterprise servers, storage arrays, and high-end workstations in the financial, telecom, web/mail, gaming, public security, retail, and professional media creation/editing industries, according to the company.

3.2 TB = 3200 gb x avg of 2.15$/gb = 6880$, but hey i think that is even too cheap, we might be looking at a 10k$ card right there, but at least you can play crysis amirite?!

I didn't understand why this part of the card...:
![]() ...bears an uncanny resemblence to the 8800 GT: ![]() With the shroud's color changed, of course. Look at the part of this SSD, you'll see the DVI port's EMI shield sticking out. What's that doing on an SSD? |

I like the bold part best ![]() Imagine having a NAS with 5 of these! One would need 100gb/s network cables! Ps: I wonder how long crysis loads on one of these babies. |
