Default Photofast makes a Monster 1.5GBps SSD

The first thing you notice about the GM-PowerDrive is that it is shiny, very shiny. Then you pick it up, and realize it is also quite heavy, the case is made from CNC milled aluminum. This is one of the few PC products out there where the feel matches the looks, the last being the HP/Voodoo Blackbird.

There are two connectors on the GMPD, the PCIe 8x card edge and a 4-pin Molex connector. That is about it, not that there needs to be more. Inside you will find 4 SSDs of varying capacity, all connected through a hardware RAID chip.


The SSDs themselves are MLC flash based with a Sandforce controller, basically the current speed champs. An LSI SAS2108 6GBps SAS RAID chip powers the interface to the system, backed by a 512MB cache. This is a very high end chip for a very high end card.
