So each cell is now a x86 cache line wide, that's wild. I have a hard time imagining this is useful or good for many apications, as I just expect endurance to be awful. But given how much data warehousing we do, there is definitely some potential for this, as a post-nearline storage. This also seems like something zones storage would be so good for, to help reduce write-amplification concerns. Alas there are still zero drives one can go slap down a credit card & purchase.

> So each cell is now a x86 cache line wide, that's wild. 128 bits =/= 128 levels You're mixing up the units. 128 bits require 2^128 levels to represent. 128 levels can only represent 7 bits. The only way the two are related is the number "128", albeit with different units.

  Pardon duh. 6 bits is 64 levels (cache width). Very different from 64 bits of course.
