14.5 GB/s is absolutely wild.
I hope it’s the first of many, it’s about time. I also hope this kind of storage gets a lot cheaper and properly becomes a good value for money proposition.
I’m not up on comparative speeds… how close is this to matching RAM in transfer speed?
Edit: apparently similar to 1866 DDR3. So pretty damn fast
Take my money.

So maybe it’s me. Maybe I don’t understand computers as much as I think I do, but I have never noticed any of my SSDs being faster or slower from one another. I’ve been using two expensive Samsung M2 drives and they seem to be just as fast as any other SSDs I’ve been using for years.
One of my drives is an old 500Gb one I was using as my boot drive in my FIRST PC back in like 2016 and it seems to be just as fast as any of the expensive M2 drives.
It always seems like the drive speed itself isn’t a limiting factor when I’m moving things around. Games don’t boot any quicker. Download speeds don’t get any faster. I don’t think the drive speed is ever a limiting factor for me.
Does it come in plaid?
What pci express does it need?
Can’t wait to shove it into my 2010 Mac Pro
So is this one gonna kill itself too? Love samsung m2s /s
So on par with a T705. Curious what pricing will be.
I have a T700 and it is stupid how fast it is.
But most users will never notice.
Ultra fast and ultra expensive. Just what we need.
I just wish larger sizes exist and were cheaper
What’s the random 4k reads and writes?
I dont even notice any difference when gaming on a gen 3 vs 4 m.2.
And not even vs an ssd in most games.
I mean sure there is a difference but cmon its fast enough.
