They're insanely fast SSDs that plug into PCIe slots rather than a SATA port. If you're now familiar with SATA Express, its a new standard that compatible with existing SATA drives that allows SATA Express drives (usually SSDs) to completely bypass the SATA Controller and go straight to the PCIe bus without taking up a slot. M.2, BTW, is a similar standard for mobile SSDs. They look like your standard mSATA slot, but actually bypass the SATA Controller for the PCIe bus for a significant speed boost. Some benchmarks, especially with one of the new OCZ PCIe SSDs, is getting 2GBps read/write speeds. Not Gbps but GBps, that's fucking fast! -- Michael "TheZorch" Haney https://sites.google.com/site/thezorch/ Religion tries to tell you who you should be.
