Its nothing to do with any of what you guys are focused on...its to do with cost and selling drives. Nothing expensive is selling in large quantity at this time, fast IO processors cost money hence drives are expensive. I need to sell drives to 100k people...NOT 100 who want to break world records etc.
So my point is totally valid...i want to build an SSD that is dirt cheap, meets specs for IOPs so windows works just fine and sell them by the bucket load all over the world.

Now we have a fast drive, from what I have just seen Vertex doing im pretty damn impressed and you will be also...but i still want a cheap drive...a $50 special if you will that is perfect for Joe Blow who is not a speed freak.
