The Viking SATADIMM - Enterprise SandForce punch packed into a DIMM!

[news 28]

Viking Modular Solutions is a producer of various lines of DIMM and

SSD products. With that, they have combined the power of a SandForce

SSD with the packaging of a DIMM to create the SATADIMM. This little

guy takes its power (and space) from a standard DIMM slot and connects

to the system via a standard SATA 3Gb/sec. This makes it perfect for

enterprise applications (think 1U server rack-mount chassis). Come

check out this innovative solution!

Quote: "Viking Modular Solutions has certainly broken the SSD mold

with their SATADIMM product. While this is more of a niche product

aimed at the enterprise, it's refreshing to see such a bold innovation

in SSD packaging. Taking power (and space) from free DIMM slots is

certainly a novel idea, and is beneficial to overly cramped

installations. I can easily see these being used for embedded and

other custom systems where high storage performance is needed without

the wasted space. "

 

Thanks for a post of this odd but interesting news!
