Plextor M6e PCI Express SSD Gets review and is tested
We review the all new Plextor M6e PCI Express SSD. A M2 Express SSD on a daughter-board. basically in this article you will learn all about what will be a hip thing on the Intel Z97 chipset. See PCIe M2 breaks away from the SATA3 bottleneck, this SSD can reach performance up-to say 770 Mb/sec ! Designed and based on PCI Express 2.0 x4 slot, the newcomers are 128 GB, 256 GB ad 512 GB SSDs powered by a Marvell controller. 770 Mb/sec. Incredible numbers really, but is that performance across the board, or just here and there in certain conditions we figured ?
Read the article right here.

It's an interesting comment you make regarding RAID, why do you believe it is not preferable?
The performance V cost of storage are very good. 2x128GB SSD in RAID-0 works well and gives you v-high speeds.
Long term storage, perhaps this has more merit? But then, long term storage is better suited to a platter anyhow.
Not trying to start a brawl, just a comment which jumped out the page at me.
If I had to guess, it's because you'd lose performance on small files. RAID+SSDs only makes sense if you're streaming an immense amount of data. Keep in mind the "I" in RAID means "inexpensive", and drives like this can hardly be categorized as such. RAID works best with mechanical HDDs. Generally speaking, if you need faster read/write speeds, a RAM drive is better. A few years ago, I tested a 1GB RAM disk in linux and got over 2GB/s write speed. This was on a Celeron with single-channel DDR2 memory. Considering DDR4 will have 128GB modules and 10Gb/s ethernet is starting to emerge, I think it'll be in people's best interests to create a dedicated RAM disk computer and run PXE boots.

The "I" can also stand for "independent"
