Does it beat Intel Optane @ 4k random read QD=1?
If not, we don't want it 😛

Electric storage technology is making leaps and bounds every year !
When we think about it, just 10 years back 300-500 iops for a high-performance hard-disk (at that time) was the best we could get.
And now going over 750.000 in a single unit. Absolutely unreal !
Fast forward 10 years ...
I can imagine 2030 could bring hundreds of terabytes of data in a device the size of an M.2 card, with near-instant access to any of it.
Databases could be accessed like we are accessing our in-brain memories... basically, instantly.
Perhaps this is what's need to make strong AI really possible.

5x less write latency at 16 microseconds, so normally it is 80 millionth of a second, so no noticeable difference for a human. But might be interesting for super computers and AI calculations as they say. And that's what it is marketed for, curious how this SSD might affect such calculations performance.
