Broadcom sues Netflix for its success: You’re stopping us making a fortune from set-top boxes, moans chip designer

So Broadcom doesn't like that someone is using legally purchased hardware that utilizes Broadcom chips

to create competition against Broadcom's historic monopoly. I foresee Broadcom will be paying Netflix's

legal fees to get this thrown out like the garbage that it is.

Buy a flash kit maker now, Seagate... good ones will be gone soon

Let's not forget that PCIe is already well on its way to 12 GB/s. LSI is sampling several versions already. Only problem is it requires PCIe 3.0 (or subsequent) PCIe-lane equipped motherboards / server boards to achieve that bandwidth. This means that the price-of-entry would initially have to include new boards in addition to the cards. Great in the long-term, wallet-painful in the short-term.
