We’ve seen the newer generation SSDs reaching speeds of 480MB/s and are totally in love with it, but what if there’s a faster SSD? Fancy speed of 2GB/s?

Yes, you’re not reading it wrong. The Texas Memory Systems (TMS) RamSan-70 is the superstar this time, packing 900GB of high-speed SLC NAND flash onto a single half-length PCIe card. Boasting an incredible 2GB-per-second sustained external throughput, this near-terabyte solid state drive is clearly not for us the average peasant.

This new RamSan-70 ‘Gorilla’ is targeted for server use of course, and with that it’ll be carrying a price that’ll cost two babies and eight limbs, and several livers too. If you had that much fresh organs in your cold storage, then you can order one for your ‘show off’ rig in four weeks’ time.
