You want fast? We got fast. In fact, we can do better than that. We got faster. Super Talent, makers of SSD drivers and other delectable storage items, has shown off a 2TB SSD drive at Computex in Taipei. That’s a pretty big (and expensive) solid state drive right there, but there’s an extra surprise inside. The drive is a RAID, meaning that it can transfer data at a desk-burning 1.5 GB per second. You could copy two ripped movies from one drive to another in the blink of an eye.
The drive won’t fit in a netbook, as you can see in the video shot by our friend Sascha from Netbook news, but it probably doesn’t need to. These drives are likely to end up in movie production houses where a drive’s read/write times are critical, and sometimes even more important than the speed of the computer it’s connected to. Plus the FX houses are the people with the kind of money to pay for this — Sascha expects a retail price of around $6000.
