As a animation compositor, this would be awesome for my productions: the single biggest bottleneck in my pipeline is the HD/digicinema capture and transfer of image frames & movies: 500 MB/s would be truly beneficial... I guess my rates are going up again. Now to add that 10GBe to my server and workstation.
If you want 500MB/s, just build a raid array- screw a card like this - buy (8) 1TB drives, and a decent RAID card, configed for RAID 0 and let'er rip. Sure, you won't have superfast random IO, but for moving around huge uncompressed video it'll scream! and you'll save money! and you'll have far more capacity.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
