We reported in August about the Seagate Nytro XP7200 now it is to be delivered according to computer Base. This is, according to Seagate to simply the fastest SSD in the world that even in 2 sizes is now coming to market. The 3.8 TB and 7.7 TB large model while not differ in the specifications except for the size. And the specs can be seen: 10 GB / s sequential read and 3.6 GB / s sequential write at 940K / 160K IOPS. Such transmission rates are already close to the limit of the currently fastest PC hardware interface (PCIe 3.0 x16, max. About 16 GB / s), making it the Seagate Nytro XP7200 only as PCIe card with this same interface at NVMewill 1.2a version. PIC 1: The Seagate Nytro XP7200 is currently the fastest NVMe SSD in the world In order to arrive at the high transfer rates, Seagate operated by the way of an open tricks. There are controlled on the riser board four M.2 SSDs with a 4-fold hardware RAID controller (transparent to the user for) to a drive in the RAID 0 array summarizes the 4 SSDs. Seagate is by the way not the first to offer such a quad raid SSDs in PCIe base. Also HP or Kingston have similar concepts in the market, but they do not can hold a candle in terms of specs Seagate. A price point for the Seagate models has not yet been communicated, should
