ive seen "these" a year ago but they were only for embedded devices and was never available to consumers even though they were cheap

 

if u guys are wondering  if i recall right these are powered by a 3 pin fan  cable

for linus or benchmarkers this would be awesome since they swap hardware from their benches all the time

How is it powered?

Looks quite amazing, but how much? If it's reasonable, say $99 for the 64GB, I will buy one. If it is that much for the base model, count me out.

Hmmm...looks quite slow. Personally, I buy SSD's for their speed, and they're already small enough to fit nicely out of the way in most cases.

I've also lived with a 64gb boot drive before. Never again.
