    This is not an NVMe drive and you must be very impatient to buy one (assuming it is cheaper than the P3700). Who knows what performance and data corruption issues you will get with such a complicated setup (four SATA controllers and a RAID controller to go wrong).

    I'd wait for the real deal

    Was just about to ask if it's NVMe so I'm the same as you, waiting for NVMe PCIe SSD's....

    Who wants to take bets on how long it'd last before you'd see problems arise?

    Not only that, but they're Sandforce controllers. I'll be staying clear of this one too. The wait for consumer NVMe SSDs goes on...!

    Nice concept, but like the previous comments said, could be a bit problematic. I think most people are gonna wait for reviews/customer feedback before buying this. 4 times the bandwidth of an SSD is still pretty attractive

    A new, single chip controller must be developed to push that 2,000MB/s speed natively instead of resorting to this complex, prone to failure, "bolted together" approach.

    And this is what is needed. A potential of 3GB/s through PCIe 3.0, and the Marvell reliability:
