> Has NVMe seen much enterprise adoption yet? Have you tried to buy one in the past year? If you're not in the Fortune 100, fat effing chance! Here's how it goes, Samsung announces NVMe product, companies beat down their door screaming "take my money!" and Samsung conveniently "cancels" the product for sale. They made it. They just sold their entire production run to a handful of customers. Maybe, just maybe you can get a couple hundred units if you're willing to wait 3-4 months and someone returns some or changes an order after delivery (and you get the returns). Even second tier (non Intel, non Samsung) suppliers are sold out. About the only thing you can buy now is HGST because no one wanted their stuff in the first place, and they jacked up their prices in response to other vendors' product shortages. Yes, NVMe is on fire right now. Everyone wants it. I wouldn't put new tech like this into a 3-4 year old system because of a sunk cost fallacy. NVMe is not also exactly "new". They're already on version 1.2 (or 1.3) of the spec. Intel has gone through 2 major NVMe product revisions (with the third out in 3 months). Also, Samsung isn't exactly breaking 3D NAND ground here. Novachips did it last year, and in a NVMe interface, too.
