that'll potentially generate a mining tier between nvme and ram

and the potential for physical density of nvme is also ramping up

Lol I had to install 64 GB of memory for one user just so he could run 3 programs from the Autodesk suite. It's insane what that software requires.

gets worse if you do actual engineering and have stuff like COMSOL on top

@Rotonen Is your experience in hardware?
quantumblockz
2018-06-15 21:53:42
Just curious, because you're quite knowledgeable about the hardware side of things.

Mine is more software/network related so I've had to do ton of research into SSD tech for this build

yes and no, done some cleanroom electronics fab work in a lab way back when, so sorta
