The end of traditional spinning disks might have come one step closer with the release of Micron's new blazing fast solid-state drive. Although PCIe drives have been on the market for some time, none of them have ever attained the speed of this newest arrival. The RealSSD P320h is capable of 3GBps when reading, and 2GBps when writing data.
Loads of data is processed online all over the world these days, especially if you count services like YouTube, Facebook, Netflix and other cloud computing technologies. YouTube announced recently that its users upload 48 hours of video every minute, and according to IDC, there were 1.2 zettabytes (that's 1.2 billion terabytes) of data processed throughout 2010. This means there's a very high demand on storage systems to increase the speed of data access.
