    It wasn’t that long ago when RAM had similar transfer speeds.

    With PCIe 6, consumer grade SSDs shouldn’t need more than a single lane. That will be nice since AMD and Intel have been pretty skimpy with the PCIe lanes lately.

      the problem at least in the shortrun, is that if you got that many ssds running in single lane on a consumer platform at the likely inflated cost the drives would be, it would almost be cheaper just to get the workstation platform at that point.

      What about latency though?

        The latency of RAM has been around 10ns for the last couple decades. The latency of a good NVMe SSD is about 1000 times worse than RAM.
