One would think that after pushing out an 832GB SSD at CES, the mad scientists at BiTMICRO could afford some time off. Nevertheless, those same gurus have apparently been burning that midnight oil and today are announcing the world's first Ultra320 SCSI SSD to break the terabyte barrier. The E-Disk Altima E3S320 solid state flash disk arrives in a 3.5-inch form factor and houses some 1.6TB of storage space. Additionally, it promises sustained data transfer rates of up to 230MB/sec, and just in case the aforementioned model is just too capacious for you, the outfit will be shipping versions as small as 16GB in Q3 of this year. No word on how many houses you'll need to liquidate in order to take one home, however.

:drool:
 
Hmmmm, well if a 16gb SSD costs $500... Then a 1.6TB SSD will cost..................................$50,000 :)
 
cant wait :) less moving parts = less power consumption, were talking about mere watts.... but still :)
 
oh...my...freakin...gawd! thats crazy. If I had a jet plane id sell it right now n get one of them.
 
just remember guys these are going to have slower xfer rates cause they use multi-level cell aka MLC. compared to the mtron drives that use single-level cell aka SLC.
