Fixstars Highest Density 3TB SSD-3000M Launches
Ehm, yeah ... I hadn't heard of these guys either. But if you can release a 3TB SSD you are worthy of a news-post alright. Fixstars starts sales for the 3TB SSD, SSD-3000M, and 1TB SSD, SSD-1000M.
The products feature enterprise level reliability and unprecedented sequential read/write performance aimed at professional content creation, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), HPC, and Datacenters.
The 3TB SSD-3000M has the world's highest capacity for 2.5" SATA SSD. High capacity SSDs help reduce the number of drives required in professional setups reducing operational costs such as maintenance, energy, and chassis/rack infrastructure. More importantly a more reliable workflow with minimum handling failures is of significantly valuable. These disks integrate Fixstars' proprietary NAND controller preventing latency spikes and performance deterioration ensuring consistent high performance. Applications for which fast and stable disk writes are crucial such as 4K video recording/editing and encrypted storage for film will benefit the most from Fixstars solid state disks.

When are we going to get 2TB+ consumer level SATA/mSATA SSDs? One of those and my rig can become entirely solid state.

yes and no... SSD have a much shorter life.
but we can use a SSD nowaday as main storage media (OS, program and casual media) but not (for now) as secured storage (important media, naked selfie

the future is on the run anyway...

That's why I always leave some unpartitioned space!

I would actually consider it is actually the other way around now.
Last I read (was a couple of years back - maybe solved now?) modern high density HDD platters suffer from magnetic bleed effects causing corruption between data bits over time. Perhaps reducing data stability to about maybe as little as 10 years if the data is not refreshed.
Labs conducting longevity tests on SSDs have been reporting the drives surviving far more writes than was initially expected.
Mirroring these thoughts I've been seeing various sites reporting the consideration that SSDs are far more reliable these days than traditional mechanical HDDs.
I would still only buy 240GB and bigger SSDs due to the considerably longer life expectancy, even if the early estimates were possibly cautious.

Fixstar is a well known company for sync HD solution for Quadro...
but i wasn't aware they do SSD too. Now they can sell the whole package Software, Hardware, and SSD.
*edit* Hilbert, there is no more separate quote, it appear in the post as it is part of it.
*edit 2* it's ok now Hilbert
