Wow. That is very impressive!!

This is the stuff that in a couple years will bring price parity against mechanical drives on TB to the Pound(inferior currencies are available :P)

I remember in 2008 paying a fortune for something that topped out at 800mb/s, with an average of maybe 600mb/s and IOPS being quite unimpressive.

Within a couple of years such things were consumer accessible, well by that I mean about £600 rather than £6000, but still with any luck this pace of innovation will make it to my gaming PC within a few years :)

TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *waves cash in the air*

So, it seems PCIEXPRESS based SSD's are the future. I guess we will be seeing more ATX boards very soon

I'd imagine that proliferation of M2 is more likely.

Nice one Samsung folk. Very impressive and that's going to be a shoe in for a lot of applications.

Definitely. Such a good idea for aggregating storage onto mobo, compact & bijou :)

Have heard there may be issues with heat (and space) in that location however, which may hold back higher speeds and capacities?
