I'm not on board with some grand conspiracy (O_o), but I am glad that higher performance/endurance flash remains an option. It would be nice to see an MLC version of this in addition to the apparent SLC version presented here.
Nice. 3DXP has potential but it needs competition. Consumer-range MRAM won't be ready for a good while.
With that being said I see lower-density NAND like this as being complimentary to higher-density, lower performance NAND. I'd love an XL-Flash or similar drive for my primary storage, and a 4TB+ QLC drive for secondary storage. Then I could go all-flash, at least for my main machine's internals.

This should please all the comment-thread experts who've been complaining of the global conspiracy to make us buy cheap, low-performing NAND :DBurntMyBacon - Wednesday, August 8, 2018 - link
