Samsung have invested "millions" of dollars into SSD storage firm Fusion-io, with the two companies looking to work more closely on solid-state memory applications in future. Fusion-io are responsible for a range of SSDs that slot into a desktop PCI slot rather than using a SATA channel. While not usually intended for use as a primary, e.g. boot drive, they make for incredibly fast serving of data: the ioDrive Duo, for instance, offers 1.28TB of storage and read rates of up to 1,500MB/sec.
