this is true but at the same time, i really wish U.2. would take off. SATA drives had significant advantages in terms of how easy they are to handle in a desktop or rackmount environment, durability, heat management, capacity without requiring ridiculously dense and more expensive chips, etc.

the only reason one would have a U.2. drive is because you are handling Serious Data. Data needing a drive large and fast enough that it's mostly heatsink. Something substantial and weighty in the hand.

we have data cards. we need data blocks to be their counterpart.

God, look at that heatsink

Magnificent

I am in complete agreement, for an abundance of reasons; not the least being the ability to swap out storage without having to take a screwdriver to your motherboard

u.2 drives are huge in enterprise; I just got out of two years of working in a hyperscale data center, and they were used for almost everything that wasn't a boot drive or some kind of high density long-term archival system.
