Bootable Solid State Drive


bootable fusion iodrive Bootable Solid State DriveA high-end solid state drive (SSD) has been created. It is named the Fusion ioDrive and this latest version is bootable.

Previous models of this drive were not bootable due to the lack of a driver. This problem has now been addressed and some firmware allows your computer to think that the SSD is an actual hard drive. The SSD based drive uses a PCI-e slot which sits on your motherboard. The Fusion ioDrive isn’t cheap though as we expected. It costs $2400 for an 80GB model. The upside is that there are no moving parts which helps makes things more reliable.

Expect to see this arrive Q4 this year.
