Is/are these just intended for enterprise usage or are these going to be for your average joe consumer? Because they look like a force to be reckoned with!!

I would think these are mostly for workstations. I'm not too sure what the popularity of NVMe is with modern servers, but I can't imagine they're all that common, for 2 reasons: 1. Servers typically use SAS. Version 3 goes up to 12Gbps, and V4 goes up to 22.5Gbps. That's some pretty good speed already, and is ready for RAID. 2. M.2 and PCIe drives are a PITA to physically deal with. Servers need parts that are fast and easy to swap, and aside from U.2, I don't know of any easy-to-swap NVMe drives.
