@ Ironduke - Uh, we won't be using PCI-E drives, no. The only reason they used that is because the existing SATA/SAS interfaces don't offer enough bandwidth (only 300MB/sec vs the 2GB/sec of the 4 PCI-E lanes these drives offer)
I remember in 1992 (or something like that) I left school and started at an IT company. Pretty sure there were servers that required Winchester drives at about £3k. Oh they were about 10mb in size. It wont be long. I see these being used in some High End workstation for a year, then high end games machines, then 10 a penny. Cant wait
In about 10 years time, we wont be needing any hdd space on personal computers.. cloud tech should save us all from buying expensive hardwares... hopefully
I @Keith: I don't think even WINDOWS can stop these babies! A well-specced, well-patched, well defragged, well serviced XP machine and a well-used OSX machine are nearly neck and neck in terms of normal user usage in my experience, so anything that cuts out or eliminates the HDD bottleneck is very very welcome. THIS is the sort of technology that people should be pushing to adopt in my humble opinion...
