April 6, 201115 yr Crew Yes. But for what is worth? It's an SATA SSD disk only powered from RAM slots (DDR3?). I've heard about them a couple of years ago but didn't ever see them on sale.
April 6, 201115 yr Author technically it's a DDR3 Dimm with ddr3 chips but with a sata interface and a controller. Edited April 6, 201115 yr by Christian Ney hide signature
April 6, 201115 yr http://www.storagereview.com/viking_modular_satadimm_review Looks like flash memory thru a sandforce controller not DDR3?
April 6, 201115 yr Author Maybe I got the wrong pic... Or the website where I have read the news was wrong... Thx storage master(aka PCM05 master )
April 6, 201115 yr I use for PC Mark 05 and Vantage the Revodrive X2 , is very fast , but there are solutions more faster.
April 7, 201115 yr Crew technically it's a DDR3 Dimm with ddr3 chips but with a sata interface and a controller.No, you're wrong. Like I said - I've heard of such a useless device. SteveRo has shown you a link. If you don't believe - google for IC marking: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/productInfo.do?fmly_id=672&partnum=K9HCG08U1M And it doesn't have the DRAM chip package either.
April 7, 201115 yr Author yes thx both, I trust you dont worry. I said that on the website I have read the news was wrong, they said it was with DDR3 IC. So I have to check which is cheaper, revodrive or this "thing". As they got same performance
April 7, 201115 yr Crew It's one of those dumb journalists that write what they want and claim it "the only truth" Don't believe to journalists and politicians, never. Even datasheets can be wrong while the first guys make their money on lying Why do they have the same performance? One is SATA, the other - PCI-E. Won't the viking be SATA bandwith limited? It's just a regular SSD with uncommon power distribution, no magic at all.
April 7, 201115 yr Author "According to "manufacturers", "journalists", "Barak Obama"" they botah have 520 mo/s write and read. And you right, I only trust testers/reviewers even if sometimes aome are big wrong I trust only my tests
April 8, 201115 yr Hi ! Here are a Benchmark from Revodrive X2 , is ATTO Benchmark for SSD : Is very fast the Revodrive X2 , is one system with PCIe conecction , and with "intern" Raid included ( 4 Controllers ).
