UK based memory manufacturer Integral has launched a high-end performance Solid State Drive (SSD) that targets the needs of serious gamers, digital designers and pro video makers. Powered by a quad-core, 8-channel Phison S10 controller, the UltimaPro X SSD delivers super-fast speeds of up to 565MB/s read and 545MB/s write with enough rapid access storage to satisfy the most data intensive applications.

Integral has engineered the drives specifically to enhance high-specification computers that handle super-high resolution graphics such as those found in the latest 4K PC games and data fuelled workflows of content editors, 3D animators, 4K video and live broadcast cameras. Hard drives were viewed by many as the last major bottleneck in gaming and video editing workstations, after the introduction of overclocked RAM and graphics cards running in a multi-GPU setup. Now with an SSD designed for incredible performance all will enjoy the benefits of faster loading times, an ultra-responsive system and super-fast boot.



"The Integral UltimaPro X SSD has been created to answer the needs of supreme performance and delivers the fastest experience in solid state computing." commented Integral's Samik Halai.

The SSDs have been constructed around a non-volatile MLC-NAND Flash and uses a Phison controller to reach blistering read/write speeds of 92,000 individual operations per second (IOPS).

The Integral UltimaPro X SSD joins the existing high-performance range of UltimaPro X memory cards that are used by professional and consumer photographers, who demand the fastest read/write speeds for their photography and video needs.

UltimaPro X SSDs are available in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities and are listed at Insight and other leading IT retailers.

Pick one.
 
SATA SSD and "Performance to the extreme" don't go hand in hand.
 
My games in total are over 4TB and yes, I play them. Come talk to me again when you made one of those and is affordable at the same time... "For gamers" pfffff

Maybe you just haven't realized the size of them yet, some are between 30-60GB.
 
4000GB = 4TB. Divide by 60GB = 66.6666666666666666666667. That is 66 games at the BEST case......and most games are WELL less than even 30GB. Be a fellow and say how many games you have you actually play... :)

I find it difficult to believe you actively play 66+ (likely WAY more than that) games... hence the pro or teen comment since those are likely occupations/situations one would have the time to play so many games.

How many SSDs do I need from this company now?

If you say so buddy.
 
LOL, Im not trying to be an ass about it, just trying to wrap my head around how you play so many games that you need 4TB installed.. So, how many do you have and how many do you actually play?

You could simply back up your 4TB then move games you play to a 1TB SSD... best of both worlds there...no mucking around with DLs and you can put your active games on the SSD.

I have plenty of time and can't even juggle more than three games at once.

Not sure what's up with "taking performance to the extreme" on a SATA SSD when there are PCI-E SSDs, though.
 
Why is no one using SATA Express? Sure it's new, but c'mon!? SATA3 is ancient and totally obsolete for SSD drives...

Because SATA 3 is compatible with motherboards without SATA Express and a lot of external enclosures (those that do not suck and aren't really slow with speeds like 100 MBps), it is all about compatibility. It is a safe bet.

I'm jealous of the broken drive.

It's some sort of partition left over from my w8->w10 upgrade. Actually virtual but doesn't take space on either of the other disks. Not sure how it works.

Think of it as a flashdrive inside your HDD.
