Even a 10 Gig drive would be tremendously useful. At $30/Gig, this would mean that you could install your OS and one multiplayer game for $300. Lots of people would buy it just for that. Video editing would be another use.

I would assume that video editing is a mostly sequential workload and thus would do better on conventional drives. You can get 10 1TB drives for the price of one Fusion io card.
