    Just so people know, while for 128GB model, $1700 may seem pricy; keep in mind the advertised read/write speeds are 4x higher than the fastest SATA 3Gbps based SSD’s while being 4x more expensive. So the cost is scaled, and only differs by taking a PCIe slot. It’s only logical the faster it is the more it will cost you.

    If you can’t afford it, join the club, that doesn’t mean it’s too expensive.
