PhotoFast also introduced a new PowerDrive-LSI PCIe SSD, this unit will ship in 240GB to 960GB capacities and offers blazing fast transfer speeds. Pricing and availability is unknown.

CompactFlash stalwart PhotoFast has unveiled its all-new PowerDrive, which claims it can read your data at 1.4GBps and write it at an even faster 1.5GBps. That's the rough equivalent of reading two full CDs' content every second! Need we say more? The PowerDrive's speed puts the stinking fast Fusion-io ioXtreme to shame, humbles PhotoFast's own 1GBps G-Monster, and matches OCZ's otherworldly Z-Drive. The supported OS list includes a nice selection of Linux flavors as well, and sizes stretch from 240GB up to 960GB.
