"they have an SLC-based memory that offers 3µs read latencies, 15 times faster than their V-NAND flash memory" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I Wish they would sell us boot drives like this!!!!!!!
It'll be very interesting to see how these developments trickle down into the consumer space over the next year or so. If they can reduce cost per GB enough it could basically mark the beginning of the end of magnetic HDDs for regular consumer use. Couldn't happen soon enough as far as I'm concerned. I might actually have real reason to upgrade.

Magnetic drives are already effectively dead in the consumer market under 1TB.Only the el-cheapo systems come with small spinners now.
