So I got a chance to pull the owner of the company Larry O'Connor aside and ask him what's under the hood of all these wonderful things I see here. 



Sure. Well, I mean, in a nutshell, it's all fast, it's all purposeful, it'll all work really well, and it'll make your Mac or PC's workflow and everything smooth and efficient.

I mean, the Apple Mac Pro is really taking off strongly based on customer interest and just the amount of sheer volume of the product they're shipping. The 4M2 cost is substantially less than the Apple factory flash, and it gives you the opportunity to transfer it between machines. So if you need to move it to another system, it is not soldered inside or not those two blades that really don't work anyplace else. And it's also over twice as fast as the factory SSD, exceptionally high performance. You put multiple cards inside the software monitors and is actually the only application that enables TRIM on external and PCIe connected SSDS, which is really important at high speed. Otherwise, you'd get inconsistent data rates and other little problems and glitches that you just don't want in the Pro machin...
