    Hi all, thanks for catching the typo!

    It doesn't seem like it would be hard to make it bootable. There are PCI based IDE and SATA adapters, which allow the devices they are attached to to be booted from. I suppose if it truly has a different setup than a normal drive, it might pose a problem, but what is the physical limitation on normal IDE/SATA? It is not a specification on the storage, just on the interface.

    I'm not sure how "hard" it is to make it boot - it was just not a priority when it was aiming at a higher-end market and we're glad that this *might* open the door to a distant consumer device. Intel has been making big strides in the SSD market and I would be really curious to compare this IO Fusion with Intel's X25-E. Read our review of the X25-M here: http://tinyurl.com/intel-x25-m

    If FusionIO wants their product to reach critical mass, they need to do something better with price, otherwise Intel and the likes will pass them up. Do they actually think other companies ae sitting idle? Once a big company like Intel makes this into a mass produced product, then good-bye FusionIO. They better look at history and consider the economic climate we are in today instead of focusing on immediate large profit and think long term.
