Mushkin Hyperion M.2 SSD Reaches 2.8GB/s and 350K IOPS
Great things are happening at CES and the storage world might be seeing some of the greatest advances that it has seen in a while. Take the new Mushkin Hyperion M.2 SSD for example which, will not only reach just under 3GB/s and 350K IOPS but also, it can be had in capacities up to 1TB!
This is brutal! I wonder if we're going to see these in web hosting business, the 1TB capacity makes it interesting.

Largely useless, very, very, very few applications would benefit from that kind of speed.
Instead of focusing on things actually useful in the real world, such as NAND life, data integrity and cost, we get this load of crap. Thanks, consumerism.
Maybe they are loving DD porn
NAND life/data integrity of modern drives is actually very good. It suffers in heavy write environments where this sort of speed would be useful. As for price...have you seen SSD prices lately? They've imploded.
Now to wait for 10-20 years until the price drops.
Now imagine if any, or all, of those were even better.
Flash based cache for enterprise storage solutions... higher OP/s... lower cost of entry?
I can imagine that application existing, but it would be very niche. I think few such situations would benefit measurably from an increase in speed over what we currently have.
If there were more money pursuing those endeavors, they would have directed their efforts there. That's the beauty of capitalism.
Not capitalism, consumerism.
It depends on who gets this. If this is for gaming computers they can just download the os and games again its no real loss to them but when high perfomance means everything to them then it makes sense. Also There is fatcache This is where you put your memcache in to ssd and these high perfomance drives can suck it up spit it out and die all day as long as the price is right for enterprises.
This means it needs a PCIe 3.0 x4 connection to the mSATA slot - Not many boards offer this at all and the ones that do are not enterprise.
You will see no measurable difference in any game if you use any commonly available SSD or the SSD mentioned in this thread. Gamers would want this because they like to brag.
This application would work also perfectly fine on any commonly available SSD with little to no measurable performance difference, save for niche high volume scenarios.
Not sure why you think cache is not about thoughtput. If i can get 2.0gbs of ssd output from a single ssd for service cache content then thats better then needing to get 4+ ssd to do the same thing. Clealy it sounds like ur crazy and hate samsung or high perfomance ssd that you dont see the benifit of having more speed.
You're not understanding what I am saying. The applications that would benefit from this speed are very niche.
I don't know where you are getting that.
