1GB Write back cache..so how long will this intelligent UPS hold? And where is Intels SSD in the numbers. :p:

Its most likely MLC based due to the huge cache need. And also using HDs for bigger factor(5400rpm 2.5" drives)

And what is the price for this SATA controller card with 1GB cache and battery mixed with a SSD or HD.

It looks more like a turd packed in a wrapper and sold as gold to be honest.
This PDF is a nice example I guess:

There's a capacitor. Memory is secure.

EDIT: This UPS will hold for a few seconds. Until data is on the flash.

Read the paper.
They talk about heat used by 15K RPM HDDs vs. their solution. You guessed wrong, they win.

1GB Write back cache..so is there a battery? And how long will it hold? Else a powerloss/reset means massive dataloss. Nice numbers is only fun until half your data is gone.

I guess you missed the part where it says this is marketed towards enterprises?

I really dont hope so. That 1GB cache will be filled very fast with a slow 2.5" 5400RPM backend disk. Sure the flash will be faster.

But excluded everything else in their own drive.

And 1000$ for a 64GB drive? Compare it with Intels X25-E then :D

Or just show some 15K RPm drives with a regular 256-1024MB controller in front as enterprises got. Not much "enterprise" in their comparison.

Yep. But they provide regular power dissipation figures too.

Those IOPS levels are for the RAM cache, not the flash storage. Lol at the marketing.

I can tell you that by comparison to the IOPS on the Acard ANS 9010 I reviewed.
