Two of the biggest advancements in the SSD industry. I like what I'm seeing..

Exactly dude, movement beyond SATA and traditional Nand. This PCIe SSD also looks so so sexy.

If only it was a affordable product. server stuff never is.

It's not just SATA vs PCIe. Normal PCIe SSDs are basically a raid controller connected to SATA controllers connected to NAND. That's ridiculous.
AHCI was never designed for SSDs. I was surprised we didn't see NVMe cards earlier than the intel DCP3500/3600/3700.
If you look at how much the CPU is being tasked to achieve an x amount of IOPs on NVMe vs AHCI it's just night and day..
And 3D nand is awesome.. It's going to be very beneficial in small form factor devices like laptops, tablets, and smartphones than it is on desktop because on a phone when you have place for two NAND packets you are limited to the bandwidth of two where as on a 2.5" drive you can put 8 packets and the SATA interface is the bottleneck (850 pro is a good example, the high capacities are very close to the 840 pro, but the lower capacity drives give almost the same performance as the high capacity ones). although once you are using NVMe it becomes a big deal.
I have never been so excited about storage since the DCP3500/3600/3700 was announced, maybe even the consumer SSDs started popping out.
 
one good thing about server grade hardware is it moves allong so fast that you get them cheap after a couple of years.. but i guess hard disks and now ssd's wont really apply which is a shame.
 
10 DWPD for 5 years....That's around 60 Petabytes, that's mental.
Oh blessed are thee. As these things slowly trickle down to mainstream consumer products in a few years to come. NICE
 
This was announced several months ago, and around that same time was the more speed impressive Allone Cloud Disk Drive 101 RAMDisk which can give enterprise users access to 500,000 IOPS from a single PCIe x4 drive. Since even the fastest SATA 6Gb/s SSDs can only barely touch 100,000 IOPS, the performance margin here is simply incredible. See more here.
