Wait, wait, what? "They'll connect via a SATA 3", then later down the article, you mention they are SATA 6. Which is it??? Also, performance specs don't sound any better than normal high performance SSDs. What gives? With 19nm, they only go up to 512GB? When is someone going to deliver a TB?

Sata 3 = Sata 6.0Gb/s

[citation][nom]Chainzsaw[/nom]I was reading about how the smaller the flash cells degrade quicker than the larger ones. Have they solved this issue with these SSD's?[/citation]That's the real question for me since IIRC the 34nm to 25nm shrink dropped write cycles from 5000 to 3000.

August is only 2 months away, why keeping the secret on the suggested retail price? Which must be too expensive to reveal. Any unit price > $1/GB won't interest me. Crucial 256GB M4 is priced only $200 now.

something like that, but you have to remember, to reach end life of a 120tb drive, you have to over write the dats on it 3000 times, meaning that you would have to write 360tb of data to that drive...

and so long as you aren't using that drive as cashe for a cashe intensive operation, that drive, barring any other failure, will last you till the life of the computer.

what i want to know more than that is how much area a memory chip (the waffer, not the black caseing) takes up so i can get a somewhat accurate base cost of the tech. i want to know if they are screwing us or not and i need that infor to find out.

Well 1 TB ssd, the price will be 1200$ Are you willing to pay that? Most propably not and the 1200$ is very low estimation... It would most propably cost much, much more... We are not below 1$/Gb with new highend SSDs yet. There are older models that are in sale below that treshold, but still most SSDs are much higher...
So 512GB version at 650 dollars is something that someone with very deep pocket can go. Most of us are still in 120GB to 256GB treshold...
