The original Intel drives were the drive to go to till the Corsair and Samsung drives took over I wonder will these put Intel back on top?

God I can't wait for them to move away from SATA 6GB/s

All the bloody decent SSDs on the market are capped by the interface, and making better drives isn't going to change that.

SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A FASTER DRIVE INTERFACE.

Very nice drive only Intel force people to pay 480GB version because difference in performance are bigger than other drives.
I decide too, no more SSD until SATA Express.
If Intel leave Haswell Extreme with SATA III than solution is PCI-E drive when they show up. Haswell Extreme was real time for new standard but if I remember they talk about Skylake and SATA Express.

Definitely, It's about time the industry standardizes a faster drive interface... SATA is just stupid for an SSD I don't understand why they have not even considered making PCIe SSDs popular, the enthusiast market would be all over them.
