Super Talent RAIDDrive II Plus PCIe SSD Writes at 3.2 GB/s

If the price is right I'm getting that, just to make my friends jealous at my 5 second boot time (assuming it will be bootable)

I don't believe PCIe flash devices are bootable or past ones that I've seen haven't been at least.

I'm sure once more and more of bootable PCI-E SSDs become available, everyone will jump ship off the current SSDs. The problem is that some of these PCI-E variants are pretty expensive. Expect to buy your computer build two or three(+) times over to get one of these.

Also Knowom, there have been bootable PCI-E SSDs. OCZ RevoDrive and ASUS ROG RAIDR for example. As for the USB trick, that only caches data, it doesn't store it like an SSD will. Plus USB 3.0 is theoretically 5 Gbps, and that barely equates to 600 MB/s. That is what a standard SSD pushes on the SATA 3.0 (3.2 being almost 2 GB/s). Also you won't have the capacity like you can have on SSDs with USB sticks. SSDs are finally approaching 1 TB (not efficient or cost friendly versions, but they are there), and USB you may find a 512 GB at best (costing ~$1 per GB as well).

(Excuse the double post. The website tripped up).

You can do this with a USB thumb drive using supercache or fancycache and get pretty much the same results you would want a UPS as well if you plan to do delayed writes for the increased write speeds, but don't need a UPS for increased read speeds.Here's a example with a cheap 2GB Toshiba usb flash drive that had like 20mb reads/10mb writes or so w/o software caching from 2011 that I posted on tweakforce.http://s127.photobucket.com/user/knowom/media/Benchmarks/supercachessd.jpg.html

eh, how can a 20mb/s USB stick read at 2600MB/s (20800Mb/s)?!!

1TB USB Flash, but obviously not as fast.I've been anxious for a while for one heck of an SSD running on PCIE ports that is both crazy fast and affordable.

Pricing?

And for a $2,100 retail price (before Newegg cut the ~$700 off) at that. Like I said, USB sticks in that range are more expensive than a faster/more reliable SSD. SSDs for that space are about ~$600 or less though it is on TLC (people would prefer MLC or SLC).http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100011693%20600038493&IsNodeId=1
