Although I understand the awesomeness of this video I don't get that a marketing company comes up with this video. The nerd community is already familiar with the potential of SSD's and their speed increase. I think that the consumer market should be steamed ready for the 'next-gen' in hard disks via a video that's not focused on RAID configs, 6 TBs, a benchmark of 2GB/s and stuff. Focus on things like homevideo editing or working office, photo apps, mediaplayer and stuff all at once.

More exposure, more familiarity with the hardware and advantages, more potential buyers.

well... the video made me feel the urge to replicate the findings. At least to some scale.

So they may have sold an SSD or two.

But then again, I'd probably go Intel and not Samsung.

Still. They got people talking and the video probably wasn't all to expensive to produce, so they got at least SOME value for their money.
