Here’s some very scary hardware that’ll put OCZ’s RevoDrive X2 to shame, in oblivion. The LSI WarpDrive SLP-300 packs 300GB of solid state storage onto a PCI Express card and promises up to 240,000 sustained IOPS (Input / Output Operations Per Second), with 1,400MBps sustained throughput — about double the performance of OCZ’s ‘budget’ RevoDrive X2. According to LSI, you would need over 400 regular hard drives in 36U of rack space and 300 times the power to match the WarpDrive for sheer IOPS. LSI recommends server applications for this card, but since they ask for $11,500 each time you buy one, I’m sure you’ll put this ‘decently priced’ card into good use. A five-figure hard drive for your computer, hopefully you won’t only play Crysis and Need for Speed with this throat-cutter.
