WINTERLORD yea was wondering if there where any benchmarks on this since there available in europeReply -

ideal for everything... marketing nonsense. I could give a rats @$$ about the "19 mm" unless that translates to drives that cost 1/4 the current price of SSDs -

Basically they're saying - if it has a micro, throw one of these in there....yeah, not much detail - just marketing hype. -
Steve Honaker II Am I the only person that saw how massive this flash is 19 mm wish 19,000,000 nm insanity I say do I have a room that I can fit a 512GB SSD into at that size. It's a million times larger than many of its competitors.Reply
Joking aside you might want to fix that abbreviation. -
pjmelect No mention o0f write endurance, it can't be good. I am surprised that they are offering smaller than 240Gig drives considering the write endurance problem at this feature size.Reply -
