iirc, the benefits of ssd include better boot times and less battery power usage. i would be pretty happy if my macbook was instant on and lasted more than 3 hours on the battery.
Are you serious? You CAN’T think of any practical uses for a 32GB drive that’s half the size of a posted note? OK… I’ll be NICE and step over the first word I thinking to describe your question, and answer it by saying…
- MP3 players - Cellphones - Cameras - PDAs - UMPC/Mini Handheld PCs - All Apple/Mac Crap - Thumb Drives - PMP devices - PSP/DS - Portable Hard-Drives - HDD attachment for the X-BOX/PS3/Wii
OK… I read your entire post – your question is STILL stupid. It was stupid from the moment you said it. I gave you 6 good reasons how a drive like this would be useful, and yet you still have a complete lack of vision.
Post no.2: Nobody is going to run out and “buy one now”. That’s not how it works. This is simply information from research and development, information that will be extremely useful to manufactures. (ie: Apple, Samsung, LG, etc) Consumers won’t see a stand alone drive like this 5 years at lease.

Can anyone think of a practical application for this drive at the moment?

One practical application: You can install MS Vista on this SSD, and it should load up close to instantaneously.

Absolutely. I have a database-activity heavy web site. Having just the temp db set up on a drive like this would increase performance immeasurably.
