I have a feeling it will be used as ram, since I see no need for servers to have blazing fast hard drives. high capacity memory/ram on the other hand would seem like a big necessity for enterprises, even if it will operate slower than double data rate ram.

Same here

A so-dimm SSD would be interesting. Imagine the possibilities with small form factors.

Its likely not used for storage but a large amount of likely persistent ram

Every single time I see this article my mind races... how long before a consumer grade edition is out? 5 years? God I hope its less.... God I hope I get a raise before it comes to consumer grade products :D

what?? 12.8TB in a single dimm? Imagine the use in servers. Basic servers usually ship with anything between 4 - 8GB of ram, which can be achieved with only one dimm. So lets say on a typical board there is between 4 - 8 channels, 1 being taken up by the ram itself, that leaves enough space for a total of 89.6TB of ULLTRAdimm ssd. (based on an x79 board with 8 dimms) who knows, in the future AMD or Intel could release a board with more dimm slots. 

 

I so want one of these.

Probably never since we wouldnt have a use for it and its likly considerably slower than normal ram.
