"We'll see more new products introduced than ever before with higher capacities, newer controllers, and lower price points."

And, sadly, falling performance as drives are no longer made with single-bit cell flash. I'm positive that cheaper will drive out faster in this area; I'm curious as to whether a high-end segment will persist or if we have actually reached peak performance for flash SSDs and it will be all downhill from here. Will last year's best SSDs be traded like rare antiques someday?

Sadly the editing in these articles is horrible anymore. This article is rife with bad punctuation and missing words so the sentences make no sense without them.
Many articles come out like this anymore here its really getting bad.

3DXPoint will cover the extreme performance segment just fine. What people want from flash SSDs is more GB per dollar. And it looks like 2018 will finally start to get us back on track there.

It's included in the 1TB graphs. Probably would turn up in about the same place in the ½TB graphs.

Is this NVMe drive recommended above the 960 Evo at the same price?

I really want RGB to just die now...

I'm just waiting for rgb sleeved cables, and rgb inside monitor bezels

The box is deceiving, it makes you think the PCI-E version has an integrated fan. Which it probably should if thermal throttling is an issue.

Is there a NON RGB version for grown-ups??
