RE: LSI Launches Crazy Expensive "WarpDrive" SSD Card

That reminds me of all the Uber expensive stuff we had to buy in the 80's and 90's just to get a few MBs of performance. Now that we are within the GB range of things, I am sure ten years from now people will look back and say why did I drop 11K on that instead of waiting a year or two.

That 900lb gorilla is raping U :P

Thanks to HH you can walk into the room with a shotgun, feel better and then go buy a new Honda :) or maybe that Origin monster PC :D

Compellent Intros Data Progression SSD Tech

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 17:57:47 GMT

We're all about more options when it comes to solid state drives (not to mention lower prices), but on the same token, we'll take a splash of innovation wherever we can get it. Compellent Technologies has just stepped forward with an innovation of its own, offering up the first solid state storage solution with automated, block-level tiering. In order to do so, it will integrate the STEC Zeus IOPS enterprise SSD into its storage area network (SAN).

In order to maximize SSD utilization and efficiency, Compellent's patented software will enable customers to deploy only two SSDs in a "tier 0" configuration, automatically migrating inactive data to less expensive drives. The automated tiered storage is simply called Data Progression, and essentially, it minimizes the number of SSDs required while providing the highest levels of performance for mission-critical applications. If you're looking for differences between this and other solutions, Compellent's virtualizedSSDs "makes it easy for multiple applications to simultaneously access the same SSDs on demand, and the entire solution can be easily managed via its single, intuitive interface."

Bruce Kornfeld, vice president of marketing, described the benefits as such: "Compellent’s automated tiered storage really saves customers a lot of money by moving inactive data to less expensive disk. Adding SSD is simple for customers because in our virtualized SAN it’s just like any other drive. Unlike other implementations, we don’t lock customers into specific models or require them to buy a lot of drives to make SSD work."

The company is scheduled to preview its SSD technology at the company’s annual channel partner and end-user conference, C-Drive 2009, and it's hoping to offer the SSD SAN products to all markets in Q2 of 2009.

[quote user="^Bad_Boy^"]I could see Hybrid HDD becoming popular next year...
And good pricing on them as well..

But SSD as it is, I think will take a little longer than next year ;)[/quote]

I say we skip hybrid drives completely and just start putting SSDs in all high end laptops (especially ultra portables), and systems that needs super fast access times. I don't think they're enterprise ready yet though.
