So I was browsing reddit today and this was on the front page: http://www.neowin.net/news/ssd-breakthrough-means-300-speed-boost-60-less-power-usage-even-on-old-drives
Felt like sharing this with the people on the forum.
Was gonna say this is a repost of mine, but apparently not so. https://teksyndicate.com/forum/hdds-ssds/ssds-300-faster/178787 You beat me by a day. Can a moderator merge our two threads?
Its about time for a Sata 4, 50Gbps with power :P
The tekfoil hat in my wants to say that this will be buried by the companies that make SSDs so they can continue to sell new overpriced drives and keep people buying new drives.
Imagine if it was found out that you could continue using you current CPU/GPU for future 4k gaming at 120hz. It would be shut down so fast, and people would disappear overnight. Kind of like the guy working on porting Physx to OpenCL for AMD cards. That was promptly silenced.
Hopefully if it does get shutdown they method will "leak" and you will be able to self update the firmware and take advantage of the speed if it is true.

300%? Seems to good to be true, Maybe an older warn out drive?
"Imagine if it was found out that you could continue using you current CPU/GPU for future 4k gaming at 120hz."
I don't see why you shouldn't, don't most of the current GPUs already support 4k resolution with dualink?
Also i doubt that we're going to see big performance jumps in future GPUs either. There probably is allot of optimization potential on the software-side for Games, I don't see how they will manage to prevent the Gaming industry from supporting older GPUs.
They might try to cripple drivers, in which case hello opensource...
"It would be shut down so fast, and people would disappear overnight."
huh ? o_0
Maybe I underestimated a little. But what I was getting at is old technology being used for things far in advance of what they are currently capable off.
By disappear I don not mean killed or anything that sinister, more like hired and told never to tell anyone of what they have built/programmed.
