Micron just demoed the world's fastest SSD with PCIe 6.x tech, a sequential read speed of 27GB/s, and yes, it's just a prototype for now

Sequential read/write is very rarely interesting, cool to see it's possible though. Random read/write and IOPS are much more important for daily use, preferably numbers without cache. Better cell endurance is always a bonus too, though I have yet to have a SSD die on me, probably just luck at this point.

I wonder if we reach to the point we're RAM would be unnecessary.
27GB/s is faster than DDR4 RAM.

Impressive. Very nice. Now let's see the random read/write speed.

It's twice the amount you were complaining about, and there are bigger drives than the one I have.
exactly. Thank you.
Back in 2012 an affordable $40 flash drive was 1GB. Now $40 gets you a 512GB.
$90 would have netted you a 2GB full-size SD card. Now you get a 1TB MicroSD with adapter
$80 would get you 1TB in spinning rust in 2012... now, with $80 you get... 1TB or if you stretch the budget a little, 2TB. But what if you own a bunch of games like Ark Survival Evolved that take up 435GB of space? Shell out $649
Back when I bought the 1TB, I installed the entire steam library I owned onto it. Now I can't get more than 6-7 new titles installed. I'm ignoring how insanely fast drives have gotten over the years, but my complaint is storage.

Let’s see Paul Allen’s io.

Just wait until they come out with DDR4 SAM.

SSDs have gotten much cheaper.
10 years ago, they were over $0.50/GB, now they're just over $0.04/GB
That's over 12 times cheaper.You can get a 2tb ssd for $85. 10 years ago a 2tb ssd would've been super expensive and very boogie.
Where can you get a 2TB SSD for $85? Most 2TB SSD's I've seen cost about €120 with the cheapest going down to €98.

SSDs were even cheaper until memory manufacturers decided it was getting too cheap: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/ssd-prices-predicted-to-skyrocket-throughout-2024
They predicted prices would go higher and, through the magic of intentionally constricting supply, it happened. Prices still have not dropped back down to where they were in 2023.

It will still be sold at a fraction of what Apple charges for their far inferior SSDs.

That’s more than DDR4 Ram bandwidth. Whoa!
