    I was think the other week that we must be due some news on larger sized SSDs. Hoping we get a competitively priced consumer product at the 4Tb mark. Please!

    IMO there is no difference especially for home users if you have average 500Mbps or new 1.5 times faster 800Mbps SSD drives. Usually even for home servers it makes no difference.
    It is certainly step ahead but our computers won't be able to use that. Obviously excluding massive virtualization solutions and data centres...

    I suspect Google Chrome will find a way of not only eating all my RAM, but SSD bandwidth too...

    Still waiting for XPoint to hit consumers. Although I doubt it'll trickle down to consumer-grade SSD's in 2.5" format for years, if ever.. :-(

    I can't help feeling that we're lagging behind a bit with the 6G SATA interface on consumer-grade kit. I've seen the odd 12G SATA interface on some high end boards but that's about it.

    Try managing a server with Microsoft Exchange on it.. without tweaks it will literally gobble up as much RAM as you give it! :-P
