I can only assume this is fairly expensive in comparison to more traditional methods?

Didn't they want to show us the interesting side of the PCB?

Ideal fit for anything smaller than a conventional desktop surely, those speeds are a lot faster than 2.5" or especially 1.8" spinny drives! Wonder how much it costs per GB?

$4 kinda area atm I would imagine..

Wow, how long before a Mainboard manufacturer puts on on a Board?

That would be a nice little boost for loading Win7. lol.

Surely initially it will be more expensive due to R&D costs but the smaller die size will mean higher capacity yields resulting in better £perGB

[AdamAnubis]

Could they not put a load of these on a PCI card and use them as a extra way of storing/giving a small boost?

Or could they use the 64GB as vRAM?

[Biscuit]

vRAM has a much higher bandwidth, why would they do that?

No idea, just the thought of a 64GB video card amused me

it's a shame there isn't power going through a standard SATA connector. You could have a tiny pen drive type thing connected directly to your motherboard.
