All the benefits of SSD and faster than SATA connections. Nice. Something to watch, price-wise.

Is this the trend of the future? Or another overpriced fad soon to die in the wake of its own demise?
Imagine 2 or 3 of these stacked on your MB. It would mean having the needed PCI slots and xtra cooling. Perhaps even a redesign of MBs and cases.
I like the idea but maybe with an exclusive MB slot designed for maximum transfer rate (over PCI?) AND if SSDs become the low priced standard for HHDs.
To sweeten the deal I'd like to see and external SATA or USB on the back pane for acess by another computer (laptop) when off.

Definitely a trend for the future,Iv'e read articles about these a while ago,and was wondering why no one was talking about em,certainly PCIe NOT PCI though,new X77 motherboards have PCIe 3 as standard,and 4 is already on it's way. Thunderbolt PCIe cards are what should be happening though,seems to be taking forever,or apple is no doubt making it hard for us "W" peeple. SSD price is still,way up there,and some SSD's are actually not good at all,seems you have to be careful,or very selective which ones you buy,especially for audio.....apparently.

soens: Would you do this if you had the money NO ! ...the ocz revo drives come up often at support fourm..most users are using Crucial M4's...Pci.. Peak transfer rate of 133 MB/s (133 megabytes per second.. so forget pci !... X2 PCI-Express....that card would require the correct slot.then theres the issue that it will never transfer data at the rate they claim..some reading for you other guys ! http://techreport.com/articles.x/22663

Of course when I say PCI I'm talking family not legacy since there's hardly a MB out there anymore that even has the original PCI. And PCIe may give way to something better. Currently I think it's cost prohibited for the average user. But the question was generalized and optimized for "future" consideration as the first link above mentions and is quoted below. Also, the OCZ line was just a reference point for conversation as I'm sure other brands will have their own versions of this new animal. There's even a hybrid with fast caching SSD and HDD for cold storage. For our purposes, at least, the Revo looks like a good fit. We needed an extremely fast secondary storage device for sequential transfers, and the RevoDrive 3 X2 is well-equipped for that task. The drive's impressive throughput may even allow us to find weaknesses in motherboards' PCIe implementations. The RevoDrive also gives us a glimpse into the future SSDs. 2.5" drives are already close to eclipsing the bandwidth available in the 6Gbps Serial ATA interface, and you won't find a new SATA spec waiting in the wings with a fatter pipe. PCI Express, or more likely a derivative ****ed up with storage-specific features, is the next step for high-performance solid-state drives. With several generations of PCI Express SSDs under its belt, proprietary controller technology from its Indilinx division, and a virtualization architecture that can tie multiple controllers together, OCZ looks well-positioned for future generations.

Definitley!! This is been on vienna syphonic library site... Lightning-fast sample loading and streaming with Angelbird WINGS and Angelbird CREST Solid State Drives (SSDs) are the up and coming solution for everyone who works with large chunks of data. When using Vienna Instruments PRO 2 you will benefit from SSDs by reducing the sample preload buffer size to 1,536 samples, being able to load 10 times more samples and articulations into your RAM, 10 times faster! Angelbird_wings_280x154.pngAngelbird WINGS is a PCIe card for Macs and PCs that connects up to four SSDs or HDDs, making them speak directly to the CPU. Depending on the WINGS model, you may want a fifth SSD with 16 or 32 GB onboard that could be used as a boot drive or system drive. Four drives can be set up as a RAID system (both mirroring and striping), making them the fastest possible modular solution to date with transfer rates up to over 800 MB/s. Multiple WINGS cards can be used in one computer – 2 WINGS cards therefore add 8 HDs/SSDs to your system. Since it’s a modular system, you can start with the WINGS card, connect it to your existing 2.5" HDs and add SSDs later. Angelbird_crest_260x190.pngAngelbird CREST are SSDs with 60 GB, 120 GB, 240 GB or 480 GB capacity to be mounted directly on a WINGS card. One WINGS card with four CREST SSDs uses only one PCIe slot. You may combine CREST SSDs with any SATA HDD or SSD of other manufacturers.

Anybody remember the Hard Card? It was like a 10 or 20mb hard drive mounted on a ISA bus card for PCXT and AT.

So is that an SSD super PCI express hard drive??
If that is so the power supply to run that would be massive, the best option would be if this was external and connected either ESATA, USB3 or Thunderbolt that way it could have it's own power supply

Yeppers. Compared to the crazy cabling that was needed for the other interface (whose abbreviation I have long since forgotten) they were a dream. I had an after school job at a computer store and I sold a bunch of those. Funny thing though, I thought of the same thing when I first saw the SSD cards.
Don't ask the question if you cannot live with the answer.

Why would it need more power than a regular internal SSD? I can certainly picture this being the future. The inside of a PC being nothing but a stack of cards! Sven
