Having launched its fifth-generation UltraDrive SSDs just a fortnight ago, Super Talent is today boosting its high-performance flash-memory credentials by announcing its RAIDDrive.

The drive, pictured below, slots into a system's PCIe x8 slot and offers a capacity of up to 2TB - combining presumably four 512GB SSDs configured via RAID.

Armed with a built-in "turbocharged DRAM Cache", it's able to reach sequential read speeds of up to 1.2GB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 1.3GB/s, says Super Talent. Stupidly quick, in other words.

There's no mention of availability, and whilst likely to be far more expensive than most of us can afford, Super Talent tells us to expect further performance details in June. Sounds like it'll be making its debut at this year's COMPUTEX.

On the other hand, it is April 1st... is Super Talent having us on?

Official press release: Super Talent Develops 2048 GB PCIe RAID SSD with 1.3 GB/sec Throughput

Judging by the lighting in that picture, I'd say so ;) Something looks decidely photoshop about it…
2TB - combining presumably four 512MB SSDs configured via RAID.

Surely that would be 2GB if it was 4 512mb drives? :P
4 * 512MB ain't 2TB :)

EDIT: Only 20 minutes late, not bad!
strike-down

Well, the 4x512MB = 2TB , Oh, either Strikedown misquoted or Hexus edited it later.

I can't really see this as being correct. And with the price of SSD drives at the moment, I don't think anyone would be able to buy this. :)
