[StarsFan4Life]

Have ANY of you actually used one of these Fusion-IO PCI-e drives? There is talk about "testing" one of these in the next few weeks:

$14k....cheap for a 640gb drive!

OCZ released their version of this... also MLC, but I think its 512GB.. goes for something around 1300$.

$14K for 640GB? I guess thats cheap, since OCZ's is supposedly $13K for 256GB.

Then again, you can get around 650MB/s from 3x OCZ Vertex 120GB drives using onboard ICHxR RAID0 for less cash.

1.3k for 256 GB from OCZ, not 13k

Ahh... my bad... that makes the Fusion-IO PCI-e drive way overpriced, hehe.
