We want one of these so bad. The LSI WarpDrive SLP-300 packs 300GB of
solid state storage onto a PCI Express card and promises up to 240,000
sustained IOPS (Input / Output Operations Per Second), with 1,400MBps
sustained throughput -- about double the performance of OCZ's
substantially cheaper RevoDrive X2. According to LSI, you would need
over 400 regular hard drives in 36U of rack space and 300 times the
power to match the WarpDrive for sheer IOPS. Sure, LSI recommends all
sorts of fancy server applications to put this $11,500 card to good
use, but we've been noticing some serious browser launch lag time
lately... and we're worth it.
