<p>As one of the earliest proponents of solid-state technology, Super Talent has enjoyed a fairly positive reputation in the SSD industry. Though Intel came along with very powerful, competitive gear and Seagate was lurking around with <a href="https://www.techspot.com/news/29732-seagate-sues-solid-state-drive-maker-stec.html" target="_blank">threats of legal action</a>, Super Talent has continued to innovate.</p>
<p>Late last year they entered the enterprise SSD market -- generally the domain of much larger companies -- and were one of the first to push for lower SSD pricing. Now they are targeting the very top-tier of SSD demand with <a href="https://www.supertalent.com/home/press_view.php?prid=e00da03b685a0dd18fb6a08af0923de0&lid=c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b" target="_blank">their 2TB RAIDDrive</a>.</p>
<p>Aimed at enthusiasts, businesses and the enterprise all at once, Super Talent's RAIDDrive rely on a PCI-E connection, and are configurable from 1TB to 2TB in size. The promised speeds go as high as 1.4GB/sec -- many times faster than the quickest mechanical SATA-II disks can achieve.</p>

While the company claims it will be available to everyone, the RAIDDrive's price says otherwise. The lowest-cost units seem to start at around $5000 -- <a href="https://www.techspot.com/guides/187-buying-guide-200908/page5.html" target="_blank">or $320 more than our dream PC</a>. Still, the thought of one powering your home desktop is pretty attractive.</p>
<p>It isn't surprising that Super Talent has brought this behemoth to the market. They were the first company to offer a finished <a href="https://www.techspot.com/news/34213-super-talent-puts-first-512gb-ssd-into-retail.html" target="_blank">512GB model as well</a>, so size has definitely been on their agenda for a while.</p><p><a rel='canonical' href='https://www.techspot.com/news/36245-super-talent-to-ship-2tb-ssds-in-october.html' target='_blank'>Permalink to story.</a></p><p class='permalink'><a rel='canonical' href='https://www.techspot.com/news/36245-super-talent-to-ship-2tb-ssds-in-october.html'>https://www.techspot.com/news/36245-super-talent-to-ship-2tb-ssds-in-october.html</a></p>
