The first time I talked to the people at FusionID they said they would have a bootable drive in May 2009. I talked to them a month ago and now they're saying closer to the August or September.
I would be surprised if you couldn't boot to this, for the £560 asking price they can surely afford to include a basic boot ROM that you might find on a £30 SATA card.
The Duo is a different kettle of fish, that's aimed squarely at database servers and SAN machines where the SSD would never be the boot drive.
"Imagine playing the most intense game, working on complex 3D graphics, manipulating massive files, ripping multiple DVDs and installing a new application -- all simultaneously. The technology is crazy."
As must be the technology that gave Johnathan the extra arms required to do all of the above simultaneously.
From my understanding of the ioDrives, the device driver is similar to a RAID driver. The device is not a disk, and does not even try to emulate a disk. Basically it's a block-IO device like a RAID driver. I would imagine that when they have a bootable version of the device you will have to install it like a third-party RAID driver for Windows.
I'm really looking forward to using one of these drives primarily for boot/reboot performance because Microsoft still have not figured out how to build and operating system that does not need constant rebooting.
