[Cialug] SSD in a DIMM

[Jeffrey Ollie]

I'd rather use a DIMM slot for RAM.  For the "next thing" in high
speed storage see Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe).  Basically it's
SSD without the limitations of SATA and can take advantage of PCIe's
full bandwidth.  Plus it's an industry-wide standard - drivers are
already in the mainline Linux kernel and I'm sure for Windows and Mac
as well.  See here for Intel's offering:

Seems to be even faster than Sandisk's offering.  I'm sure for mucho
dinero though.
