Micron Demos SSD With 1GB/sec Throughput

Lucas123 writes "Micron demonstrated the culmination of numerous technology announcements this year with a solid state disk drive that is capable of 1GB/sec throughput with a PCIe slot. The SSD is based on Micron's 34nm technology and interleaving 64 NAND flash chips in parallel. While the techology, which is expected to ship over the next year, is currently aimed at high-end applications, a Micron executive said it's entirely possible that Micron's laptop and desktop SSDs could have similar performance in the near future by bypassing SATA interfaces."

There is a market...

...for really high bandwith stuff.

For example, these puppies from Edgeware, designed for video streaming, can do 20GB/sec:

(And these aren't vaporware, I've seen the actual hardware in action.)

Granted it's very custom stuff, but putting tech like this in a box with a SATA interface is really just evolutionary... Cool none the less though. :)
