That is impressive, but they are however significantly slower than their lower capacity Lightning Ultra Gen II SSDs.

It's going to be in body part currency! Its the only way - there wont be enough traditional money on the planet to cover such an expense.

I'm thinking:

5 legs and a spleen.

Or 2 arms and a liver.

LOL........ I can't wait for the day, the prices are normal and we can start using them like spin drives. I can only dream at this point a fully loaded blade server of nothing but SSD's or a NAS/SAN box fully loaded. The speed!

Going to be lots of people rolling around.....
