Iodrive is cheaper/ GB?
32 GB = $2400.
This one is $150 for a flash card + $1600 for RAM + ?? for the box itself.
Or 2x$70 + 2x$320 +2x ?? + $700 for areca 1221
Also here you don't have PCIe x4 limitation, you can make a RAID of them with (maybe..we'll see) better performance per $.
But this low IOPS is strange..has over 1/2 of Iodrive bandwidth and should have better access time.
