Read & write throughput look impressive, read iops too. But "just" 200k iops random writes?
Wondering if it's some sort of raid...

retail price for 800gb is around $1100...making it about $1.4/gb
the big component is the adapter, looking around at retail stuff there's only a few quad m.2 adapters that are universal and they run around 400 per card, at ~120 for a 120gb ssd on the phsion e-7 platform you quickly end up with just under 1k worth of parts, slap testing and a heatsink onto it the 800gb model isn't a horrible deal unless you can find those cards cheaper, that might not hold true on the larger drives however.

thanks! forgot about the price of adapter itself.
Hopefully Patrick can get us review on this =)

I don't see why not, Windows would just see it as a drive. Probably need to update the nvme driver though as with the Samsung 950 and 960.
