My only question is how fast the I/O is and how cool they are? I don't worry much about space, even as a gamer. I can keep my MP3's and pr0n on a seperate 250-500G RAID array if I want, as long as the system files and the few "playing right now" games are reading without having to spin up a platter.

I haven't been to the CES in 13 years, I miss it. :(]]>Jan 8th 2007 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/I think this is a situation where they are combining two separate statements. First, San Disk stated that these could impact the cost of a new laptop as little as $600 when released. That is not the same thing as saying their initial price at release will be $600.
Next San Disk stated that their price will drop 60% within the first year from launch. Combine the two statements and you get a $250 price tag in Q1 2008. Not sure how they came up with Q2 2007.
Even then the $600 may only be possible at OEM quantities with some subsidizing.

As far as speed goes, the previous Engadget entry stated this: "The 1.8-inch SSD delivers a sustained read-rate of 62MBps and a random read rate of 7,000 inputs/outputs per second (IOPS) for a 512-byte transfer – more than 100 times faster than most hard disk drives."

I am all over these even at a more realistic price of $1k.]]>Jan 8th 2007 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/]]>Jan 8th 2007 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/Jan 8th 2007 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/Jan 8th 2007 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/Jan 9th 2007 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/Jan 11th 2007 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/Jan 10th 2007 3:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/Jan 12th 2007 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/hands-on-with-sandisks-32gb-ssd/http://www.portableparts.co.uk/products/Sandisk_32GB_Solid_State_SDD_H/10902 for £250, is that about right price wise?]]>Feb 20th 2008 11:02AM
