I know this is enterprise and silly expensive.. but can you install windows/OSX to a drive on a pci express slot? Please let it be so.

@ilovethemonkeyhead - I'm not sure anything's that good ;)

You should be able to install your OS on a drive that runs on a PCIe slot, which is what you do with most recent RAID cards. Unfortunately, this drive does not allow you to boot any OS (yet) AFAIK.

One day when we've all got these in our cheap-as-chips netbooks we'll look back and laugh at how we drooled when they first came out.

I remember salivating over a 486-DX2/66 .... sigh ....

I hope that in a couple of years time, these SSDs will cost next to nothing - I wish!

Ofcourse you can boot!

A 486-DX2/66 i remember them. Playing Titus the Fox in superVGA, sooo much better than the pink and black of a 386 :)

@xenos sorry, but at the moment it is not possible to boot from these drives, even though it is possible to boot from pci-e

@basicbasic - My first PC had an 80188 processor clocked at 4.77Mhz...now that really shows my age!
