The table seems wrong. Going from 500 GB to 1 TB, you'd double either the chip capacity or chip count, but not both.

For general gamers or pc users, i think even a sata 3 ssd is enough.

We talked same thing about HDD's few years ago.
m.2 with 3/1 GB/s is already same price as sata, so you go for slower when we don't have to ? its better than sata on side & speed, cheaper to make as its smaller (raw materials).
soon you will forget about sata, and that 5 GB/s is next sweet upgrade we as mortals will get in ~2/4 years.
