More competition for Mtron is right around the corner.
The Mtron PRO 7000 at 32GB is $1,129 or $35 per GB and can write at 90MB/s.
The Super Talent MasterDrive DX at 64GB is $1299 or $20 per GB and can do 70MB/s throughput.
So the Super Talent drive is about 22% slower but 42% cheaper.
Though I don’t think the MTBF is high enough for DB operations.
That and there’s no published IOPS specification. Kind of important….

Hi Kevin,
My name is Steve Sattler and I am recently on board at Fusion-IO — we make the ioDrive.
The ioDrive represents nothing short of a fundamental rethinking of storage and storage architecture.
Of course it’s small, non-volatile, and uses very little power.
The ioDrive is similar in performance to 1000 mechanical drives in a rack but without all the required infrastructure needed to support a large SAN: power supplies, racks, host bus adaptors, fibre channel, controller nodes, floor space — not to mention all the software and staff to manage the SAN. The ioDrive sits in the server on the same bus as the CPU and memory — a truly balanced architecture built for optimum performance.

Hey Steve.
I’d LOVE to see these shipping but from what I can tell they’re still vaporware at the moment.
PLEASE prove me wrong though because I’d love to see more competition here.

Right, I agree with Kevin, when will you ship some of these drives? You really should work on Windows drivers as well. I just started using 2 Memoright drives on my workstation, but it’s Windows-based.
