    I am just curious. Many of the SDDs are approaching the limits of SATA 3 and I was curious if they have a new interface in the works.

    What do you mean by limits? What benchmarks will produce? Sure SATA 3 SSDs can read 500 MB/sec read, but what does that mean for the average user? Mechanical drives barely saturate SATA 1, so anything faster is pointless. Faster doesn't mean much for everyday use, unless you copy data 24/7. With any SSD, you get .1 ms latency and that is what gives the OS that snappy feeling.
