Now if only SSDs would drop in price faster.

That really isn't much more speed then the old nand, not enough to consider an upgrade at least...

Blame the SATA3.0 interface. Unless you want a PCIe or SAS 12gb connection, you're stuck with the current speeds.

They should get a nobel peace prize for this.

The good thing about this new SSD is that it'll pave the way for more capacity, and previous models will be cheaper because of this.

An excellent point.

I could use 2 x 8TB SSD's in my M17XR4

Hey! I was serious guys.

Hey! I was serious guys.

The name's Serious. Serious State Drive.

Jokes aside, they came up with a method to improve speed and storage capacity. Just progress marching along in a good direction.

@ Urzu1000

Exactly the reason why they deserve a peace prize! Working in IT, you truly witness the impatience of people in this world. SSDs like this keep them happy, which in turn create a ripple effect that keeps the population humming along. No longer are valuable hours and manpower wasted by the complaints of having to wait a few seconds for the application to load!

@applegetsmelaid It's definitely a good step forward. But I still can't agree with the Nobel prize. These advances happen all the time, and if huge prizes were given for each and every one, that would reduce the value of the achievment. They certainly deserve some sort of prize for this though - as reading it has made the prospects of my future many seconds-wasted-per-loading-screen brighter.
