Super Talent in PCIe SSD RAID

Super Talent Technology announces the RAIDDrive upStream, a new type of SSD designed for the PCI backplane.

SSD solutions were first introduced as 2.5" SATA replacements for existing HDDs. These transitive solutions have demonstrated the benefits of SSD technology we know today. SSDs are faster, use less power, are more rugged and are more reliable than HDDs but the 2.5" form-factor limited their capacity and the SATA interface has again limited the available throughput.

The RAIDDrive brings SSD technology directly to the PCIe bus. No longer limited to a 500GB maximum capacity by the predetermined 2.5" form-factor, upStream can support a full 1TB of storage. And no longer limited to 550MB/s by the SATA III bus, upStream delivers up to 1GB/s of performance.

The upStream is an addition to any workstation running disk intensive applications. It’s for animation, simulation, CAD and sorting & searching large databases. It pays for itself and in the hands of creative professionals and facilitates the creative process by enabling creative professionals to work fluidly, unencumbered by the long delays that sometimes result from simple commands.

Four SandForce SSDs working in conjunction and their combined performance focused solely on your project; that’s the upStream advantage. It’s four SSDs in a RAID array driven by an LSI RAID controller.
