    The HyperSpin 2 beta is here!

    We’re starting the first public testing phase with Platinum Members to keep the scope manageable while we test the current feature set and begin to add more. In the future, we’ll provide a version for basic members as well.  On behalf of the entire HyperSpin team, we look forward to another exciting adventure with our community.

Super High Speed SSD

i've had an OCZ Ibis for 2 years now that gets these speeds.. (mid 700's average read/write)

nothing special in this release..

the main problem you get with these drives is that they are so quick that windows shuts down instantly, and doesn't get the time to write all the data to the disk before power off, so you end up getting disk corruption.

Nothing new on the radar and not even "cutting edge technology", ocz introduced pci-e raid ssd revodrive 1 or 2 years ago... The problem is the cost of the whole thing...

@mike

... and the fact that some motherboards seems to have serious problem booting from pci-e :P

booting was never my issue..

shutdown was though.. in the end, to shutdown properly.. i had to restart my pc from within windows and wait for the machine to restart and then turn off during the BIOS startup screen.. too much grief just to save a couple of seconds on boot and overall usage.

only really great for benchmarking, and the whole "e-peen" thing with pc's...

in theory you could connect 4x IBIS drives off one controller and get up to 2.5 GB/s of throughput.. now thats speed

A friend of mine bought one of this "toy" last year but he wasn't been able to make it boot on x58. Honestly i forgot asking him if he resolved the issue or not :P

Anyway you can always set up a relatively cheap chipset fakeraid with 2 or more sata's ssd. The downside is not every chipset support TRIM with raid0

About shutdown problems... did you try hybernation? The only problem is... well, writing 3/4gb per session on a limited rewriting technology is not a wise idea...

BTW... everybody's talking about ssd's speed but the real deal with them is not linear speed, the real boost comes from 0.1ms seektime. A 7200rpm hard disk reads less than 2mb/s while loading a huge set of little files due to the time spent in seeking the file's position on platter. Last week I bought a 2tb seagate barracuda.14

... faster than a WD black but WD's 11ms seektime performs better in basically every tasks but linear reading/writing :D

p.s. burst rate is limited by cache write back and hd tune cpu usage is in-famous :P

not really a fan of hibernation for desktop pc's (especially ones running windows), just seems to take too long to come back to being fully operational, also the speed my pc booted at (6 seconds to useable after post) was quicker than the time it took to get to the same useable state from hibernation.
