Fusion-io ioDrive (80GB)

ZDNet Australia Editors’ Choice

Manufacturer: FusionIO


Talkback 0 comments

Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Amazingly ridiculous speed, especially under multi-user situations
  • Aggressive optimising and write strategies
  • Redundant and high quality memory chips give extra longevity and reliability
The bad:
  • Firmware updates could be more obviously highlighted
  • Performance isn't cheap
  • Linux installation could be a little friendlier
The bottomline:

The Fusion-io ioDrive is in a performance field of its own. Home users are much better off RAIDing a few SSDs together; however, for those running servers that need extra throughput now, the Fusion-io represents an expensive, but justifiable saviour.

Editors’ rating:

9.5/10

RRP: AU$4200.00

  • Array Forget the NBN, 100Mbps is already here
    Telstra and TransACT will shortly begin offering 100Mbps broadband to many customers. By moving early, the companies have not only raised the bar for Australia's broadband services, but thrown down a challenge to a government that now faces increased pressure to deliver the NBN as promised.
