Pros

Amazing speed, especially in multi-user situations Aggressive optimising and write strategies Redundant and high-quality memory chips give extra longevity and reliability

Cons

Firmware updates could be more obviously highlighted Performance isn't cheap Linux installation could be friendlier

Verdict

The Fusion-io ioDrive is in a performance field of its own. Home users are much better off RAIDing a few SSDs together; however, for those running servers that need extra throughput now, the Fusion-io represents an expensive, but justifiable, saviour.
