        Pricing

        It's an enterprise, "special" SLC SSD with a SAS/SATA 6Gbps interface. Therefore, the price falls into the "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" category.

    arithmetic

    120,000 IOS on a 3Gb/s interface, Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    120,000 * 4K = 480,000K

    call that 480MB/s

    on a 3Gb/s interface?

    Nice trick.

    Like the idea of 120,000 IOS though, that is 600 disk drives worth of poke!

    Increasing competition

    Looks like the SSD industry is changing focus to enterprise level products. Chasing margin.

    OCZ have new products.

    HSGT and Intel have new products

    Toshiba as the article

    Etc etc

    What impact is this going to have on STEC?

    Is there enough of a market for all the new players?

    Great for consumers though?
