PCIe SSD solutions lend towards to be two things: stupidly quick as well as stupidly expensive. With read performance of up to 1GB/s as well as writes function during up to 900MB/s the Angelbird Wings solution certainly has the speed. And, at the starting price of $239 for a 16GB model, the pricing isn’t too bad — for this sort of setup, anyhow. What you’re getting for which income is an expandable PCIe controller house with slots for up to four SSDs of 120GB in size, any charity SandForce 1200 controllers. With a single house you’ll get walking read and write speeds of only underneath 300MB/s. But, with any new drive you fundamentally multiply that, with the maximum figures quoted above coming with 4. Interestingly, a controller comes with the own onboard Linux flavor called Virtue, a full UI which you can foot without delay into as well as get all your RAID ducks in a row. Full cost for a entirely kitted out system with 4 play? $1399, that is frequency poor for the small 500GB or so of storage, but is the plain cost for 1GB/s performance.
