NVMe anayone?
For us the reduced latency is the main driving factor. Looks like support for the 2.5" NVMe drives has been coming out which makes it more attractive. We plan on getting some in house to test soon with intel p3500 2.5" drives.
Anyone else deploying, or thinking about deploying, NVMe yet?

Good to see someone is reading :-)
You can RAID NVMe using software RAID. I have one chassis with 6x NVMe drives right now and several of those drives are in RAID 1.
My suggestion: skip the P3500. Very low write endurance and you are not saving much over the P3600 series. At that point, almost makes sense looking at the Intel 750. You could buy retail packs and use the drives in NVMe backplanes selling off the cables for $45 easily. That would bring the per unit cost down to around $355/ 400GB.
I am not allowed to link, but I did write an article about how to get 2.5" NVMe drives working in a desktop. That may be something interesting for pure testing purposes.My site dedicated to server and workstation hardware: http://www.servethehome.com
