The New PCI-e SSD

Wow, I've just seen this on OCUK:

What do you think?
I hadn't heard of anything like this in the line. Looks like if done well with costs lowering in future it could be the end of the traditional HDD/SSD in a drive bay...

If it catches on it could be a change in Mobo and case design aswell!

I for one would love one, just a tad out of my budget though

These have been around for a while, but it has just been since SSD was brought out properly that prices have started to come down

Oh my! Thanks for that, I somehow completely missed them

Impressive stuff!

They had them for a while, but I think this is a better version!

Those revo drives do give stonkng performance gains. I'd love one of them but will wait until support and more firmware updates are available.

Firmware updates are becoming available now and the bugs are getting far better.
