*yawn*

M-series drives, reading data well above hard drive speeds at 250MB per second and writing at a still-fast 70MB per second.

Sheesh, why would anyone pay a premium for one of these when a 7.2k HDD can do that for likely 1/4th the price with 2-3x capacity???

Too slow.

Samsung & Toshiba to ship much faster write capability 256 & 512GB drives early next year.

Sequential vs random. You really have no idea what you are talking about do you?
