SanDisk's PS5-licensed Optimus GX Pro 850P SSD ranges 1–8TB and costs $2,959.99 (discounted from $3,699.99), with an implied ~200-game capacity, making it far pricier than multiple PS5 Pros.

A narrow, single-node KV engine removes fsync from the durable path using fixed-size preallocated files, O_DIRECT writes, and a 4KB-aligned journal with atomic commits, delivering roughly 2x higher 4KB-write throughput and lower tail latency on NVMe, but requiring a narrow SSD durability contract and not intended as a general-purpose KV or transaction engine.

Show HN claims Llama 3.1 70B can run on a single RTX 3090 using an NVMe-to-GPU path that bypasses the CPU.
