    From the press release:
    Uh, what?

    Anyways, that means I could cram 1 more SSD in my M6700 for lols, but the biggest question of all: can you boot from one of those?

    PASS.

    These fail right out of the box with:

    uselessly small capacity.
    uselessly low performance.
    useless and inappropriate use of SLC nand chips for consumer level use.


    Yeah; this is not one of Super Talent's strong suits, I see.

    And with almost 100% guaranteed non-bootable status (as tijo mentions already), this is just another 'toy' to add to more than likely already 'toy-like' systems.
