Diamond Point has introduced a card which doubles the slot capacity of Fusion-io’s PCI Express-based ioDrive storage format.

Based on PCI Express x8 or PCI Express 2.0 x4 standards, which can sustain up to 20GB/s of raw throughput, the ioDrive Duo can sustain 1.5Gbye/s of read bandwidth, read IOPS of 186,000 (4k packet size) and write IOPS of 167,000 (4k packet size).

Latency is less than 50µs.

It is available in capacities 160, 320, 640GB and 1.28 TB later in the year.
