hmm this could be really good to have. then people could upgrade the size of their drives by adding a dimm or two. it does look like something similar to what OCZ is using on the PCIE cards, but it does look like they are using a SO-dimm FF vs this.

This could be awesome, depending on how the real-world performance pans out.

I didn't see a release date/etc. Wonder if this is a "development item" or something to actually be released?

I don't see how it is supposed to work. Last time I checked, things that get plugged into RAM slots get treated as RAM. There's no method for accessing secondary storage (hard drive) via the memory controller.

AFAIK the slot only provides power. There's a normal SATA port on the top for data.

That's what it looks like to me.
Lets you put more storage into a 1U server case with no available bays.

That makes more sense. I looked at it and thought you were supposed to plug a drive into it.

And depending on the price. Any time you put the word "enterprise" in a produt name, you add lots of $$$ to the price.

Wait, you think the ink that goes into printing the extra letters is free?

But really, this isn't really meant for the average desktop computer. Like Bobnova said, it's designed more for servers which need more storage and don't have any more drive bays. Larger companies have a lot more money to spend so they could charge more and still sell a lot of units.

well if you take something like the i-ram but it only supplies the power. it could be interesting, im just sayin... though im more interested in finding their "SATA CUBE3" with a size up to 256gb and its smaller then a 2.5in/1.8in drive

or even their "Element Slim SATA".
