Where's the beef? I sense a lot of smoke and mirrors here, similar to Intel's recent CPU "announcements" which don't even reveal the number of cores. No prices and funny numbers that the writers of technical articles can't seem to get straight. Obviously these are a significant improvement for laptop drives but how many laptop users have a need for 11,000 IOPs and 170MB/s? It seems to me that most laptops suffer from insufficent RAM and low-power components which don't deliver much performance. The CPUs which come in laptops are not going to be able to process 170MB/s. What about the dual-ported SAS models for enterprise use?
