Actually costs more now

I wonder...
There is no 256GB- and 512GB-Version available in europe.
Holy sh_t, what prices (ES/WS 768GB) ~ $ 20.000 http://translate.google.com/translat...000%26sort%3Dp

Currently trying to find one

If all goes well I'll order it tonight.

Hey low,

Any news? Did you receive it yet?

I have it ordered. It arrived @ my brothers place in Redmond, WA. My brother is taking his sweet ass time sending it to me though.

[Computurd]

jeez lowfat... i think i am more impatient for you to receive that than you are!!
does that even make sense?
(i have no idea why i am humping your leg, it just happens)

[XS Janus]

Lol!
:d

[lowfat]

He has been sitting on it for nearly two weeks. Actually i think the issues is w/ his wife. I am about ready call UPS myself (and take the HUGE hit for brokerage fees, likely a few hundred $$$) and get UPS to pick up the card directly from their house.

Ohhh nooooo, poor IOxtreme is in between a divorce battle! "I'll take the dog!"; "No you wont"; "O.K. fine I'll take the Fusion IO then!".

You should consider USPS.com too they have pick up service now and you can always use one of those Priority Mail International Small Flat-Rate Box for US$ 10.

Way cheaper then UPS.

[One_Hertz]

In my experience....do NOT use USPS to get stuff across the border to Canada. bad bad bad bad bad. Takes over a week for no apparent reason.

Interesting. Didn't know they had a pick up. Maybe I'll do this.

I have no problem w/ USPS. And I've done my share of over the border purchasing. UPS & FedEx rape you when it comes to their brokerage fees.

Oh, I've got my own broker so I wouldn't know about that. USPS has always been incredibly slow for me.

This is not true in most cases.

USPS has better prices then any other carrier and the pick-up service for US$15 is a steal.

I've used them to send stuff to Australia, Brazil, Germany, Holland, Uruguay, England, Mexico, Canada and never had problems. The delay on delivery happens not because of USPS but because of the Countries customs policies and posts.

Big Countries like Canada and Brazil usually have 3 or 4 Customs entry posts to filter all the incoming mail and USPS guarantees the Airmail delivery from USA to this station. After that they will take ground route to the final destination because they wanna save money. So if you live next to or near a customs entry post your in luck and that mail will arrive in 6 days max, if not it will take more time, depending in your own official post office (Correios/Royal Mail/Canad Post/Deutsche Post etc).

All of that is applied to Priority Mail, Express Mail is guaranteed to be Airmail all the way to the final destination.

[One_Hertz]

The Canada Post driver for my area is this incredibly obese woman that only comes every 2-3 days regardless of how much mail/stuff there is for us. Perhaps that is part of the reason. I have never, ever had anything delivered to me in under one week using USPS.

He has been sitting on it for nearly two weeks.

so you don't reckon he has stuck it in his pc to make sure it works properly before handing it over? that would only be brotherly after all

[NapalmV5]

Looks like a naked Super Talent RAIDDrive GS 1536GB



But the IOps are too high for a consumer-SSD.

from performance whitepaper.pdf


areca 1231 decimates that and eats it for breakfast/launch/supper/and all the snacks in between

[NapalmV5]

How much is that thing?

thats probably the 7x ssd pcie by intel @ idf 2009

if a 4x slc ssd supertalent raiddrive is 6,000$+ this thing is at least 12,000$+

Hm, to slow @ 4k.
I got ~ 190MB/s. @ 4k

I would like to see a long bench (minimum 10min.) with IOmeter.
Then we see the real seq. perf.

[XS Janus]

It's also possible that lowfat already has the card, but is holding on us.
You know guys it is better to work on the benches in peace and without any pressure!

[F.E.A.R.]

Fast, but expensive...

Looks like my brother is actually sending the card out today

Should have it by next weekend.

In what century do you live?

[alfaunits]

That'S and Canada post for you - might get it at some point, might not

Hey, let us know where he lives so we can...errr make sure he mails it?

[XS Janus]

Can't believe nobody else got it and posted some new benches anywhere on the web... the sales must be dreadfully slow, since we see nobody bragging about it

only a moron will spend $1000 on an 80GB SSD
