Review: GSKILL Phoenix Blade 480GB PCIe SSD
We benchmark and review the G.SKILL Phoenix Blade PCIe based SSD today. So how does 2,000 MB/s maximum read and write performance sound? Yes Sir, or 245K IOPS? That's the kind of performance G.SKILL offers to the performance aficionados in the year 2014.

I remember a friend of mine bought some of the first sticks of mem from Gskill when they first came out . He took a gamble and bought some and they turned out to be faster than anything else at the time. As soon as I seen the name on this article I knew this was going to be something amazing but I was not expecting these insane speeds! Very impressive!
Those are some nice tests Hilbert, you do great work

I dont think PCIe SSD's will take off in the consumer market, I had a RevoDrivex2 back in the day, and while they are good they offer two dissadvantages.
1. Boot time is slower as they need to initialise raid.
2. Multiple SSD's on one card means your standard rate of failure x number of SSD 'modules' decreases overall reliability.
Also by my experience in selling my revodrive, alot of system compatibility issues can be a problem, had my card returned to me twice as either they didnt know how to set it up or there system wasnt compatible.
Guessing people will be reluctant to fill their pcie slots with ssd's, perhaps one for a boot drive, but then if you just need one you would go the M2 route which is where it's at.

Not all PCIE SSD are raid 0 based
For a product of that price, it should be NVME compliant, not AHCI.

Very true!, but then your chopping down on your performance, which then brings into question why your going PCIe in the firstplace! (with current hardware that is).
I've not seen any real life consumer benchmarks between NVME and AHCI so cant comment there for any real gains it would offer, i hear it does reduce power consumption however which would always be a bonus!
