|  the onboard cache and the use of SLC memory would already reduce that problem It probably costs as much as a luxury car with 1 TB, is it at least bootable? |

| This uses MLC, not SLC. According to the page, it is bootable. There is no mention of controller type which is the big question here... but honestly no flash memory is completely free of the slowdown effect. |

  | This technology is interesting.. We have been working with the Fusion IO card here at work and it smokes everything else we have.. We are sending back our older 160gb model for the new 640gb model, which retails for roughly $20k.. I wonder what the price is on this 1TB card.. |

 | This means OCZ is too late to the market, and perhaps even that they lent (copied ?) the technology from this firm. Will be interesting to watch how this plays out.
