I'd assume so based on the IOPS (admittedly at 4K) as well as the fact that 20ms is slow for any SSD, let alone one that supposedly offers cutting edge performance.
I checked the source article and it really doesn't list any of the specs in the table so there must have been additional press info sent out. It lists no latency figures and 512 (bytes or otherwise) appears nowhere in the linked document.
@shyam334, yeah, he's missing a lot. You don't know the half of it.
The official spec sheet says "Write Latency 512B (μs)" so it's a typo in AnadTech's table. http://www.hgst.com/sites/default/files/resources/... Also Hitachi doesn't refer to it as an "accelerator" anywhere as far as I can tell, just as PCIe SSD.
@ddriver do I still have to say it =))? That "engineering" school you went to (visit) probably told you it stands for "Microsofts".
I'm sure he's well aware of that and just wanted to point out that this SSD is FASTER than his RAMDrive, which definitely is "insane". Not every comment here is bashing the new products.
It's a primary drive, not an accelerator. "accelerator" as applied to SSDs is a term legacy storage array vendors use in en effort to convince themselves direct-attached SSDs have not already rendered slow networked storage arrays obsolete, much like how Microsoft would call smartphones "PC companions".
Shut up and take my money. I have absolutely no need for this whatsoever but I'm prepared to take out a second mortgage and sell a kidney, an arm (the bad one), my legs (they're broken anyway) and my right, but not left, ventricle. My left manboob is also up for sale.

Is that 20 millisecond write latency correct? Shouldn't it be around 20 microseconds?MrCommunistGen - Wednesday, December 7, 2016 - link

its 0.020 ms > millisecond ( its 20 µs > 20 microsecond)http://www.aqua-calc.com/one-to-all/time/preset/mi...

It's insane that my ramdrive (AMD ramdisk, ddr3) produces speeds that are in the same ballpark (7/9.5GB/s sequential), but has a ~200k IOPS limit.Jhlot - Wednesday, December 7, 2016 - link
Your ramdrive isn't 800GB let alone 7TBeuler007 - Thursday, December 8, 2016 - link
