TMS Breaks Speed and Capacity Records with its SSD

[btarunr]

Texas Memory Systems (TMS) devised a SSD storage called the RamSan-440 that the company claims to have broken speed and capacity records. This 4U rack-mount device has a sustained speed of 600,000 IO/s with available storage capacities of 256GB and 512GB. The SSD also uses proprietary technology from Texas Memory called IO² (Instant-On Input-Output) that improves availability by making data requested from users or applications available instantly when the system is on.

The system uses DDR2-SDRAM, data backup is done instantly by transferring data to the internal flash memory with minimal system overhead. The device can be attached through SAN or using eight 4 Gbps fibre-channel ports.

I read about a similar device some years ago. Basically a huge iRAM. Great for huge databases and the likes.

I wanted to get iRAM (sounds like a middle eastern country) but they don't make a ddr2 version as far as im aware

Yeah it would be cute if you could actualy stick in there at least 4x2GB sticks-o-ddr2. Today's commercialy available iRAM are good for uhm... small operating systems, caches, maybe an application or two, and ironicaly for a swapfile.

Oh and if we're in the improvement sector.. it would be nice if it had a pci-e x1 interface

the DDR2 version never came about because unlike the original, it couldt get standby power from the PCI slot, so it lost all its contents when the PC was off.

i'm unsure why it got canned, i guess low sales?
