You imply that competition and standardization will result in commodity products at low prices and that this is a bad think.

The real fly in the ointment is the capitalist system which touts competition really relies on socialistic protections via patents and copywrite while using the courts to slow down product development and limit competition via patents for obvious things.

bring on standardization and competition so we can finally see the end of stupidly high prices for what should be a reliable and fast commodity product.

As far as the higher-end consumer market goes, I wonder if this would help eliminate some of the compatibility issues with various motherboard manufacturers and/or models. That is one drawback to products such as the OCZ Revo-series — far too few motherboards that it is actually compatible with. You would think that manufacturers would recognize that a very large new customer base would be available in both the consumer and enterprise segments; and that dilution of the market by too many choices (such as is the current situation with SATAIII SSD’s) would be quite a ways out.
