InnoDisk's 128 GB NanoSSD

via�Gizmodo�by Adrian Covert on 6/9/09

The�InnoDisk NanoSSD�amazingly packs 128-gigabytes of storage into a form factor not much bigger than a matchbox. And to top it off, InnoDisk claimes the drive still reads and writes at around 150 MB/s. Wow.

As part of the testing process, InnoDisk says they test the NanoSSD by hitting it with 20 Gs of of "accelerative force" while plugged into a motherboard, and�TweakTownsays it's designed to survive this. There's been no mention of when this will be available, and I'm sure you'll have to sell a couple of your kids into slavery to afford this thing. But it totally looks worth it.

Fatal1ty + Fusion-io = Lower-Priced 80GB ioXtreme PCI Express SSD

via�Gizmodo�by Jack Loftus on 6/7/09

Fatal1ty, ever the personal brand ambassador, has partnered with the folks at Fusion-io to launch an 80GB�ioXtreme PCI Express SSD�for the common man.

I say common man because, until now, Fusion-io was a company known for products priced out of middle and low income PC gamers' rigs.

This $895 card, however, is more modestly priced, compared to their other wares, and it's well known that aggressive X's on anything make those things faster.

The card was also designed with future software updates in mind, as Fusion-io touted upcoming features like boot and transparent data migration. For now though, just the X and some speedy transfer rates. [Fusion-io�via�Engadget]

Solid-state drive teams up with blazing-fast RAM for incredible speed

Solid-state drive teams up with blazing-fast RAM for incredible speed

Our jaws are still agape over�that lightning fast ioDrive Duo�solid-state drive we showed you last month, but now here's one that can beat it, the DDRdrive X1. It combines the blazing speed of 4GB of RAM with the backup confidence of 4GB of flash memory right next to it.

You don't want to keep your data in RAM, because it will go away as soon as you turn off your PC. That's why it's great to have it paired up with some really fast flash memory, keeping everything you're doing saved. It can either back up or restore all your data in 60 seconds.

The result? Mind-numbing�speed on random reads and writes. That's one thing that makes a PC really feel fast. But all that speed has a downside, as you may have guessed. This measly 4GB drive costs $1495. Yes, that's crazy, but this is another one of those pieces of bleeding-edge tech that gives you a peek into what the rest of us could be using a couple of years from now.
