It doesn't look exceptionally parallel -- the throughput figures are similar to those in PCIe SSDs. 880 MB/s doesn't come close to saturating even a PCIe bus (4 GB/s, for v2 8x), let alone DDR3 (13 GB/s per channel).
- vidarh 12y agoI agree, it's not that fast I have 1U servers with lots of RAM slots. Fitting in a RAID 10 is easy enough even in a "modest" 1U server with space for 8 DDR3 slots. We have servers with up to at least 16 DDR3 slots. And in most servers these days, drives take up a massive amount of physical space. Being able to drop the drives and RAID controller has the potential of massively simplifying some server hardware.
