ioDrive Duo SSD … just crazy

Fusion-io has some of the fastest Solid State Drive solutions on the market. Its ioDrive series uses the PCI Express interface to avoid the bottlenecks of the commercial SATA interface and the result is staggering storage performance. Fusion-io has now announced a new model called ioDrive Duo and the specifications are clearly above average. It has first of all revised the ioDrive’s biggest drawback, the storage capacity.



Already next month ioDrive Duo will be available with 640GB storage and in the second half the number will be doubled to 1.28TB. This should be enough to make even the most spacious retail drives to run and hide.



Except from improving the storage capacity ioDrive Duo sports some pretty terrifying performance. Fusion-io specifies a sustained write speed of 1400MB/s, while the read speed will be up to 1500MB/s. The write speed is about 10 times higher than the average high-end MLC SSDs on the retail market. And you can of course use multiple of them for even better performance.


Performance specifications;



  • Sustained read bandwidth: 1500 MB/sec (32k packet size)
  • Sustained write bandwidth: 1400 MB/sec (32k packet size)
  • Read IOPS: 186,000 (4k packet size)
  • Write IOPS: 167,000 (4k packet size)
  • Latency < 50 µsec

The problem is of course that the price of Fusion-io’s products is more than 10 times that of regular SATA SSDs.
