3D X-Point is only something like a factor of 30x slower than current
DRAM modules (which is to say thousands of times faster than existing
Flash modules), and I believe Intel are planning on selling it packaged
as DIMMs as well as PCIx NVME devices.

Kirk mentioned a memory-based variant of UFS in his run through of the
history of filesystems during his talk at EuroBSDCon last year -- looks
like that could suddenly become relevant again.

	Cheers,
