Can We Use a 2TB Hard Drive With a 64GB Buffer?
Texas memory systems will soon have the biggest solid state disc. Solid state disc drives are the fastest method of storage ever created. The trick to the speed is that they are a hard drive that consists of just RAM or flash memory, usually they have no buffer, so that there is no bottle neck in read or write speeds.

The only draw back has been that the sizes have been limited, the top has been only a 64gb solid state disc drive. This has now been replaced with Texas Memory Systems 2000 Gigabyte solid state disc drive, with 64 gigabytes as buffer, giving a 0.15ms read time, and a 0.5ms write time. For those that don’t no, that’s about 10 times the speed of any other solid state disc drive, and at least 100 times the speed of any hard drive around today. Draw back is that it will cost around $200,000 per terabyte.

Do you think that solid state disc drives are worth it?

Is this drive worth its cost?
