I/O side of the business. And this has been neglected for many
years, because this technology was focusing very much on
getting it smaller and much higher capacity. And we see today

wonders to your performance. It gives you 2x faster application
load and application execution. It gives you 2x faster resume
from hibernation on your notebook. And, like many good things,
