#2The technical details:

The important, actual TLDR: "Kinetic Open Storage is a drive architecture in which the drive is a key/value server with Ethernet connectivity."

#3OK, so head 'sploding a little... this is basically a hardware implementation of a Redis/MongoDb key/value store yes?
If so, wow... yes... the world needs more of this, I think.
Wonder if you could get it to conform to AWS S3 interface too?

#5I wonder about performance - will this new storage protocol be at least as performant as current standards (ATA, SCSI) ? We need better performing drives, didn't the datacenter sort of already took care of itself?

#9Radical simplification and IMO this is great. Remains to be seen how this will fare in comparison with RAID. I'd wager that google would be very interested, if they already not doing something like that in their data centers.
Nerdy me likes idea of POE hub and bunch of drives doing their own thing.
Also pretty good time to start writing stuff to support this into Linux kernel and developing support apps.
