I don't see it happening anytime soon. Memory manufacturers have decided that current nand flash random performance is "fast enough" for modern PCs so all their RnD goes into pushing faster sequential speeds for server applications because for servers there is no such thing as enough speed
It's worth remembering that all storage drives invented from sata SSD onwards were developed for servers first; no one has been developing storage for desktop users or gamers; we just get the sloppy seconds of Server technology and random read/write generally doesn't matter for servers
There has been a little bit of work done for gamers where some drive manufacturers have tried to develop software that uses predictive algorithms to predict future random read/write work to improve performance for desktop and gaming users but all of them to my knowledge have proven to have little to no effect.
What gamers and desktop users require for better performance is new memory atorage technology - but no one is doing RnD in that, they only do RnD for server storage because that's where the big money is at
