Another manufacturer has tossed their hat into the solid-state disk ring. Attorn BV has recently announced their upcoming SSD drive dubbed the HyperDrive4.
The performance of this new drive is just incredible. It touts a hefty 126MBs/s with a single drive. Bump it up to 4 in a RAID 0, and you’ll be able to see speeds up to 400MBs/s.
But how much can it hold? The answer is definitely not enough. The current iteration has a whopping 1GB capacity. My thumb drive holds more than that. However, the company does state that 32GB drives are planned.
[correction] It appears that our original information was incorrect. The storage space is not currently limited at 1GB. The size depends on the amount of memory installed on the board. With 8 slots on the drive, you can have a maximum of 32GB. Definitely sounds worth looking into.
Thanks to the guys at Attorn for catching that!

This is not a new drive, nor are any of the specs indicators of true performance.

Hello, I just want to point out that the capacity of the HyperDrive4 is NOT 1Gb, but depends on the amount of memory the user puts on the board. If he puts on 8 modules of 4 Gb it has a capacity of 32Gb if he puts only one module of 1Gb on the board it will have only 1Gb capacity.
NeutralBy the way if you want 32Gb you are cheaper of buying 2 HyperDrive4’s and putting 16Gb on each board and putting them in a Raid configuration, that is because the 4Gb memory modules are quite expensive.
