Seagate teams with LSI to enter PCIe-based SSD game

Seagate didn’t bother serving up a gaggle of new wares at CES this year, but judging by its release shot out today, it’s hoping to make a serious splash in the SSD market a bit later on. Thanks to collaboration from LSI, the outfit is expected to deliver its own line of PCI Express-based solid state storage solutions. We’re guessing these devices will be similar in scope to the PCIe SSDs already outed by Fusion-io and OCZ Technology, but at least initially, they’ll be aimed squarely at the enterprise market. We’re hoping that’s just a beta test (of sorts) and that performance-minded desktop users will be able to snap one up at their local Best Buy in short order — too bad we’ve no assurance that these will be priced within the realm of feasibility, though.
