OCZ is developing a proprietary optical interface, called HSDL (High-Speed Data Link), for connecting SSD to desktops and servers. During this CES they displayed an SSD unit, called Ibis, using this technology. According to the manufacturer, the interface can reach up to 20 GB/s. Sounds great, but don’t forget that Intel is preparing its own optical technology, called Light Peak.
