[PR] PhotoFast PowerDrive-LSI PCIe SSD – A Combination of Performance and The Art of Industrial Design
Taipei, Taiwan. Oct. 8th 2010 – PhotoFast Global Inc. a pioneer in creative, high quality and extreme performance flash-based storage manufacturer, today revealed its new line up of PCI-Express SSDs. Relied the new partner in RAID solutions, PhotoFast demand to bring A combination of performance and the art of industrial design.
LSI, one of the leading company in RAID solutions, has come to our mind at the very beginning of our development. We have chosen LSI from many other great companies we have worked with. Offering flexibility in engineering to meet our requirement of Solid State Drives. Thanks to LSI, providing great performance, stability and compatibility to various platforms.
The head of art director, Sam Tang were assigned to this project bring the art of industrial design, to produce a storage device not just a vapidity iron box. Making each of the enclosure by CNC with classic red painting. “I brought those elements of a sports car into this, and hopefully users will like it and say Wow.. when they open the box”, said Sam Tang.
I believe we’ve seen enough press release spread from Japanese medias. Before PowerDrive-LSI hit the retail and online shops, we will be taking Pre-Orders of iPADock until the end of October.
