InnoDisk Intros Matador II Series PCI-Express SSDs
Taiwan-based company InnoDisk announced the Matador II series of PCI-Express solid-state drives. Suited for enterprise applications, the Matador II delivers read speeds of 800 MB/s with write speeds of 600 MB/s. A PCI-Express x8 interface is used to connect to the system, providing the necessary interface bandwidth. Storage capacities on offer range from 128 GB to 2 TB. The company hopes to sell as many as a million units next year, though pricing for these hasn't surfaced as yet.

I havent heard of Innodisk before I wonder if they are part of the same company as Inno3d, InnoVision, there grahics cards were always good and fairly well priced, though I havent seen/heard much of them in the gpu market recently
google translate should help

Hopefully if they intend to sell millions, they expect that the price is low enough for that to be realistic.
LOL, the use of the word "enterprise" in PR releases is to sell units to SMB's ;)
Intel X25-E Extreme SSDSA2SH064G1 2.5" 64GB = $800 USD
Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2M080G2R5 2.5" 80GB = $300 USD
That's 2.5 x the cost for less space.
Fujitsu MBA3300RC 300GB 15000 RPM 16MB Cache Serial Attached SCSI = $300 USD
Just as fast as SSD at a fraction of the cost, and more reliability and space.
As well as the fact few if anyone looking for "enterprise" hardware will be looking into a no name company from Russia. As well as the complete lack of expandability, you get maybe 1 of these 2 if your lucky and your mobo supports it, where as you can have a lot more with traditional SAS and SATA options. This whole "enterprise" is just a poor attempt at marketing, and you bought into it.
Sorry fail:nutkick:
Seriously what does me using SATA2 SSD in a raid, have to do with a PCI-E SSD ? Christ your dumb.
Whats with all the new people at this forum flamebating?
There is a very large market for enterprise drives - do a search right here on techPowerUp and you will see that many large companies (including Seagate) are releasing SLC Enterprise drives before they have any MLC drives available. HP now sells their own brand SSD drives for servers. There are OEM SSD drives incorporated into SANs from the large SAN companies. All SLC, no MLC.
Whether you perceive any benefit or not of SLC over MLC, IT managers apparently do.
Now as for SLC over 15K RPM SAS, in many uses the spinning disk medium is the more appropriate choice, but SLC enterprise drives still have their place, and that place is growing fast.
