    Will anyone use it?

    Now the question is "Will anyone use it?"

    The other big PCI-e SSD sellers have already written their own high performing custom drivers. For example I don't see Fusion-IO changing to use NVM Express. Not when most of their performance comes from how they use the driver to schedule writes and cache block information for quick reads.
