IBM Tests 4-Terabyte Solid-State Drive Tech

Engineers and researchers at the IBM are testing a 4-terabyte, high-speed solid-state drive array and the results are nothing short of impressive.

Under the rubric Project Quicksilver, IBM coupled solid-state drives with its storage virtualization technology to achieve a sustained data transfer rate of more than 1 million input/output per second (IOPS), with a response time of less than one millisecond in a 4.1-terabyte rack of SSD storage. SSDs are being supplied by Fusion-io.
