Take all of my money!!

I just wish normal SSDs like the samsung evo will drop significantly in price.

I always thought making a SSD would cost less than a mechanical harddrive

I think with the cutting-edge technology included in the new Intel SSDs, and the fact that they are aimed at the DC market, they may just take all your money as requested

Great news. We've been running ram drives for our mail queues for ages. Been waiting for this.

This does sound awesome, however when will the speed be capped due to bottleneck elsewhere?

But... What are these blazingly fast specs? Does it use smoke signals or quantum drives with flux capacitors?

Specs or you don't get me excited.. Its like telling me there is a nude magazine, but all the nudes are hidden behind google searches...

Research 3D XPoint to figure out where the speed comes from. Given that this is 1st gen production grade technology it's hugely impressive

Reality for average Joe is that this will make no noticeable difference in their lives. So don't lose any sleep about it.
