Texas announces 5TB SSD - RamSan-620

This product comes as a 2U rack shelf and uses single level cell (SLC) flash. It is, TMS claims, the highest capacity SLC SSD on the market, as well as the fastest at 250,000 sustained I/Os per second (IOPS) for random reads and random writes. The throughput is 3GB per second and latency 80 microseconds for writes. Just to knock a nail in the hard disk drive coffin for apps the RamSan-620 is targeted at, TMS says this is 60 times less than a high-performance HDD.
