Yeah, but they do that sort of stuff a LOT.Part of their artificial market segmentation. I mentioned it elsewhere, but I am hoping increased competition from AMD makes that a less viable strategy.Beyond that, though, I keep wishing all this SSD stuff stops being a platform feature. I'd love to see NVMe RAID and SSD caching become something supported by the relevant specifications and natively supported by OSes and their file systems rather than that just being an Intel/proprietary software thing (at the very least Windows needs to be better at storage heierarchy, even with caching losing relevance as fast and large SSDs go down in cost, the prevalence of cloud services and home servers has increased the need to better handle tertiary storage).
