Super Talent claims reading-speeds of 1,3GBps for raid-ssd

Hardwarefabricator Super Talent is working on a set of ssd-raid-cards with a maximum storage capacity of 2TB. The fabricator claims unusual high sequential read- and writespeeds for their raiddrive-cards.
The Raiddrive-cards from super talent are dressed in black and are to be pinned into a pci-express x8-slot. According to the fabricator the ssd-card supports up to 2TB slc- or mlc-flashmemory. Besides that Super Talent claims a respective maximum sequential read- and writespeed of 1,2GBps and 1,3GBps. These unordinary high speeds should be possible by taking advantage of the built-in cache-memory and the hardware based raid-controller, in which multiple groups of flashchips in a raid5-mount are approuched at the same time. Raid5 also offers more security for it's errorcorrection-information and capabilities.
Super Talent wants to market the cards in three different flavours. The most expensive model, the Raiddrive ES, would be especially valuable to enterprise-servers and the matching appliances like databases and virtualized systems. A built-in battery should protect the cache-memory from power outage. The WS-model is meant for workstations and according to the manufacturer is otimized for tasks such as animation, cad/cam and video editing. The GS-model is designed with gamers in mind, it has an optimized i/o-subsystem that should improve performance.
But you're gonna have to be patient if you want to wait for it to arrive in the market; the manufacturer is still working on it's ssh-raid-cards and is willing to release some more detaild info and benchmarks somewhere around June. The prizes are undetermined as well so hang tight!
