In reply to Les@TheSSDReview. Yes, it isnt NVMe, but it is an IDT chip, therefore it is not developed in house by Micron.

Is this bootable? And just for kicks, what would the as-ssd results be?

Is the RAIN implementation safe enough to use without RAID 1 running outside of it (say across 2 350GB cards) it sounds good, but if you have a firmware or controller related failure you’re still at risk right?

In reply to todd. Micron has a Minneapolis-based controller team which did much of the work on the controller. Basically, IDT has a stock PCIe controller, but it's easily modified for custom jobs. Micron refined the design for the P320h. IDT now has a reference NVMe design, but the NVMe standard is far from universal yet. One day, a PCIe SSD won't need a special driver, but today they do.

Todd – What makes you think you know so much about this chip?
