SuperTalent har meddelat att man jobbar på en ny Solid State Drive enhet som utan tvekan står ut från mängden. SuperTalent RAIDDrive är likt OCZ ZDrive en produkt som huserar flera SSD-enheter i en RAID-konfiguration. Detta gör att man kan öka lagringskapaciteten riktigt ordentligt, upp till 2TB, samt att överföringshastigheterna stiger i taket då man använder sig av PCI Express gränssnittet. Genom en PCIe x8 port ska RAIDDrive ge skrivhastigheter på upp till 1.3GB/s. Om SuperTalent inte passat på med ett spännande aprilskämt ska det bli intressant att höra mer om deras kommande SSD RAIDDrive.
