The PC's configuration is also pretty beefy:

- (5) LSI Mega RAID SAS/SATA 9260-8i raid cards
- (2) 1000W Thermaltake TRX-1000M power supplies
- (1) Thermaltake case
- (1) Super Micro X8DTH-I X58 Server motherboard
- (2) Intel Xeon 5550 CPUs
- 48GB 1333MHz of Patriot DDR3 ECC-Registered memory (12) PS34G13ER-E
...
A sustained rate of 155,000 IOPS/s is generated by using forty 256GB TorqX SSDs connected to five LSI SAS PCI-E controllers. According to the TechPowerUP article, the system supposedly is able to "rip an entire Blu-ray in 0.9 seconds." Clearly, this is impossible as no optical drive can manage that. What more likely happened was that a reporter misquoted Patriot.

The system is capable of making a duplicate copy of a "Blu-ray rip" on the 40-drive SSD array in a blistering fast 0.9 seconds. That's at least an 8GB file copy in under a second. We don't know about you but, load times be-gone!

Holy Crap! That is some quick transfer and processing.
We have this evidence camera that has a 130 MP sensor, but it is all aligned in a one pixel wide vertical array. It is used to take ultra high rez evidence/scene photos.
Problem is we have to put it on a stepper motor rotating stand in the center of a room to document it. It is slaved to a G5 and takes about 30 mins to complete a room.
Hook a rig like that up to the camera... that would be awesome.
Now where to store all that data...
