Tl:dr it’s faster and more durable but expensive. The article wonders if they are already looking for commercial customers.

It depends on how expensive it is.

I remember when SSDs came out they were horribly expensive to the point no sane non-billionaire customer would even consider one. And look at the prices now.

I remember my boss asking me to fit his new 1TB SSD into his computer. My jaw just dropped.
Doesn’t seem like that long ago, but 2019/2020 has messed with my timeline
