Four times faster than flash memory – is it possible? Yes, says Dutch company Attorn, which recently announced its solid state hyperdrive. The drive, made from DRAM memory chips, sports 32 GB of storage and fits in a 5.25 inch storage bay. The reason for the Speed – the drive uses DDR SDRAM (double data rate synchronous dynamic RAM), which means it can write at 30 MB/s and read at 53 MB/s. The transfer rate is a slick 126 MB/s.
The company says the speed is perfect for industries requiring nearly instantaneous data, such as the financial trading industry. For more information on the HyperDrive4, visit the Attorn website.
