Right now, you can buy annoyingly-bulky external SSDs for £250; by doubling that, you’d get an extra internal drive through the card.
In fact, reducing the size of these chips is crucial in order to get laptops to expand SSD capacity beyond current limits. I think it’s great news all around. I’m now waiting impatiently for a microSD version.
