just received an e-mail... drip...drip...drip...drip... texas memory systems... they are using the 800MHz Rambus© interface in their next-generation network switch products. The Rambus interface supports 800 megabits/second/pin and will allow SwitchCore?s next-generation products to offer the only single chip 16-port Gigabit Ethernet layer 3 switch, raising the bar in switching and routing throughput for the networking industry. The SAM-500 SSD (Solid State Disk) system has all the requirements to configure a hyper storage area network. Speed is the description of this network. Since the SAM-500 is RAM based, it overcomes many obstacles inherent to mechanical disk storage drives. While disk drives have experimented with multi-port configurations, today?s disk drives still only transfer one data file at a time. A fast SSD can satisfy all access requirements simultaneously, and with almost no latency. The SAM-500 is designed to handle fifteen I/O requests simultaneously while providing an average I/O transfer rate of 200 Mbytes/sec and a maximum transfer rate of 800 MB/sec per port. Standard SAM interfaces include the PCI-200, the FC-101 (Fibre channel), the GBE-101 (Gigabit Ethernet), and an ECL based interface the ELK-141 (700 Mbytes/sec).
