ASUS making some super fast SSD

According to ASUS(it'll be under the branding of Republic of Gamers), they're releasing a super fast storage device. I see a PCI Express 4x interface, and ASUS is claiming that this thing will read at 830MB/s and write at 810MB/s. There's not a whole lot of information yet, as far as I know. (like the chips it uses for instance) If you thought normal SSDs were fast, wait till you try this thing. It also looks pretty beastly as well.

Here's one link to it: http://rog.asus.com/230162013/news/8...-what-is-this/[/url=http://rog.asus.com/230162013/news/830mbs-read-810mbs-write-speeds-what-is-this/]

Another one showcasing it: http://rog.asus.com/199862013/news/g...r-express-ssd/[/url=http://rog.asus.com/199862013/news/gallery-raidr-express-ssd/]

Would you buy this?

Kinda late for ASUS to join in on the PCIe SSD market, Fusion-io is the cat's meow for PCIe SSD's, but I guess for consumer level ASUS might get a few sales.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

only 800 mbps? isn t that possible to do with only 2 ssd and onboard raid? I was expecting more...

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

Well, SATA 6Gbps SSDs can be achieved with two SATA 3Gbps SSDs in RAID... are SATA 6Gbps SSDs unimpressive to you? You don't have to deal with RAID controller overhead or increased failure risk or anything like that.

you know the raidr is msatas ssd in raid(from the name)? so the limitations apply

For pcie ssd and all the things that were said about the raidr around ces I was expecting more (along the line of 3-4 msata ssd in raid 0 speed)

for comparaison the revodrive advertise 1500MB/s

So it might be impressive but not what I was expecting.

Looks cool. Wow you can buy pretty much everything from Asus now haha
What would you do if ASUS made their own phone/tablet(doesn't include Nexus, as they make it for Google)

It would seem evident that all of ASUS' claims and specifications regarding their upcoming SSD are hyperbole, unfortunately:

That sucks, but the advertised prices were not that good either.

OCZs RevoDrive 3 X2 240GB gets ~1500MB/s Reads and ~1200 MB/s Writes.

CPU: AMD 3950x Mobo: MSI B550 RAM: 32GB DDR4 GPU: Asus 3080 Strix PSU: Superflower Leadex 3 720w Case: BeQuiet 500DX

Storage: 2TB SSD + 4TB HDD Audio: SMSL 793ii -> HiFiman HE-400 + Mission MS-50 Speakers

I haven't heard of any pricing for it yet, and that's only the first preview or review that I've seen of it, to be fair. Firmware updates could be a potential solution, like the reviewer states, but it still wasn't fair of ASUS to make those claims given the actual performance seems to be significantly below what they're saying.

That's true. I'm not really surprised though that ASUS would resort to something like that, as it's a company and trying to make money and will pretty much stop at nothing to make a profit.

This card will match perfectly with any black and red themed build with its epic design.
