Well, the microbenchmarks were pretty pre-sophomoric, essentially
trying to express how the device would be useful to a Windows user
that *might* play games...
I'm sure it's hurt by the fact that it's using a SATA ("version 1")
interface rather than something faster.
Mind you, I'd like to see the product succeed, because they might come
up with a "version 2" of it that is what I'd really like...
