Question....does SATA Express work with Linux, and has anyone tried one of
those PCIe SATA drives? They're insanely fast SSDs that plug into PCIe
slots rather than a SATA port.

If you're now familiar with SATA Express, its a new standard that
compatible with existing SATA drives that allows SATA Express drives
(usually SSDs) to completely bypass the SATA Controller and go straight to
the PCIe bus without taking up a slot.

M.2, BTW, is a similar standard for mobile SSDs. They look like your
standard mSATA slot, but actually bypass the SATA Controller for the PCIe
bus for a significant speed boost.

Some benchmarks, especially with one of the new OCZ PCIe SSDs, is getting
2GBps read/write speeds. Not Gbps but GBps, that's fucking fast!
