In a nondescript ballroom here in San Jose, we almost tripped over LSI’s upcoming 12GB/s MegaRAID products. Though PCIe Gen 3 6gbps offerings are just now becoming mainstream, 12GB/s products are on the horizon — and we got the chance to see one in it’s natural habitat.

It’s been roughly two years since the SSD industry transitioned to SATA 3 and many believed that Intel had missed the bus.
