I can't wait. Curse Discs. Curse them to hell. No more scratches, no more re-buying your CDs and dvds, faster load times, smaller exterior, more durability, the end of piracy(maybe),

The ssd is the beginning of the end. I wouldn't count on your precious BD or HDDVD to win any wars. ]]>Jan 11th 2007 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 12th 2007 6:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 11th 2007 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 11th 2007 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 11th 2007 10:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 12th 2007 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 11th 2007 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 11th 2007 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 11th 2007 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 11th 2007 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 11th 2007 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory

Of course as the SSDs get cheaper you upgrade to the bigger models but today a 16/32GB should be enough.

Can't imagine those read/write speeds - they must be blazing - next to instant. Throw in some non-volatile RAM and we could probably have (or be very close to having) instant-on machines.

Besides performance, these would allow for laptops with lighter weight, greater battery life, and more stability.]]>Jan 12th 2007 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 12th 2007 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/
1- They produce far less heat;
2- Have faster seek times;
3- Are smaller;
4- More silent (or totally silent);
5- Use less power.

Computers, laptops, portable media players, cellphones... those are some of the stuff that will change for better if SSDs continue evolving like that.
iPhone is nice, but you just can't compare.

It's just like CD x MP3. SSDs don't have mechanical parts. Now you compare how much lasts 2 AA batteries on a CD-Player vs. on a MP3 player. :P]]>Jan 12th 2007 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 12th 2007 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 12th 2007 8:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/Jan 12th 2007 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-with-sata-connector-a-worlds-first-twice/I'm thinking the on board logic it takes to maximise read speed could become a bottleneck at some point. Other than that though, it's just a matter of using these until holographic stuff kicks in, which'll be a while yet.
