scsi express???? why would they be putting out a new scsi version/type when sas is so new? do you have any information about it as google doesn't really bring anything up....
good one, but as we can see today, technology is moving rapidly. what most people see is what is directly in front of them instead of what the whitepapers hold in multibillion dollar companies. it's like comparing Jane's Information guide to what is offered on CNN.net
well you won't be able to find it so easily. it's more closed than the pci-sig teams. you need to be a priority member of development functions to know any of this. the internet has a lot of stuff, but it doesn't have "everything." if you search hard enough with good credentials motherboard manufacturers have their eyes on new interconnects that will be more mainstream for integraetd and newly developed SCSI controllers that will be an option if SATA isn't a desired option in the time to come. maybe it won't happen, maybe it will. but if you have the money and knowledge, I don't see why enthusiasts today would avoid SCSI technology in a good speed array setup, anyhow. nonetheless, SCSI is on the roadmap. fibre channel will also be more mainstream someday.
4x74GB 15K's in an LSI 1+0 can cost 700 dollars. ten years from now, it will cost less than 70 dollars.
DDR RAM is cheap enough anyway to give i-ram a decent shot without losing too much and the benefits are interesting. ten years from now, it'll be like how we see PC100 RAM today, come to think of it.
good luck boys and girs.
