It is exciting to see that our 9010 RAM Disk series have generated much enthusiasm.
We are receiving calls on a daily bases inquiring about the release date of this product.
And this leads to my main purposes here: to provide access for community regarding product information, evaluation, as well as development, while collecting community feedbacks.
I went through the threads on 9010 and I'd like to provide some answers here:

Initially, 9010 is designed for enterprise grade equipments and HD content markets.
9010B is designed for extreme workstations, SMB servers, and game machines.
A lot of members here are experts in storage and memory usage so I'd leave the application part to your imaginations.
What I can say with confidence is that, as a PC gamer myself, I am thrill to see a drive that finally breaks my system bottleneck.
Release Date
The official launch is scheduled in mid October, exact date of release is pending to be announced.
Pricing
I see a lot of questions in this part. While the final MSRP is not confirmed, I can confirm that the MSRP will be below the $500 mark.
I will have a confirmed MSRP in a week.
Thank you for all your support and feedbacks.
