I felt weird reading this. HDD are now for backup/capacity mostly, becoming CD-RW/Tapes of the day. Compared to recently shown Apple/Samsung SSDs going above 1GBps [1], feels even more out of place.

Apple must not be using the top-tier Samsung M.2 SSD; they can write at 1500MB/s+ and read at 2100MB/s. 1024MB/s is nothing. Now that SSDs are moving to using PCI-E lanes instead of SATA, we'll probably see quite a speed race. Really looking forward to the Intel 750, which will straight up be a PCI-E card for the desktop version.
