The best flash disk I could find (with a 5 min search) was this http://www.memorydepot.com/details.asp?id=FD32GIDE2544TURBO
which only has a data rate of 12-15MB/s and is a wopping $2,275.00 for 32GB...that's pretty steep if you ask me. But the data rate is better than a normal IDE drive...and the power ussage is way way down. 185 mWatts is damn low.]]>Jan 16th 2007 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/seagate-unveils-worlds-fastest-2-5-inch-15k-rpm-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/seagate-unveils-worlds-fastest-2-5-inch-15k-rpm-hard-drive/
Please note the Sandisk SSD has a Burst, Read & Write time of 100MB/sec, 62MB/sec and 35MB/sec respectively.

Double shrug for the fact that it won't work on a lap top as well.... Hey, anyone know where I can get a carbon fiber buggy whip?]]>Jan 16th 2007 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/seagate-unveils-worlds-fastest-2-5-inch-15k-rpm-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/seagate-unveils-worlds-fastest-2-5-inch-15k-rpm-hard-drive/Jan 16th 2007 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/seagate-unveils-worlds-fastest-2-5-inch-15k-rpm-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/seagate-unveils-worlds-fastest-2-5-inch-15k-rpm-hard-drive/Jan 16th 2007 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/seagate-unveils-worlds-fastest-2-5-inch-15k-rpm-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/seagate-unveils-worlds-fastest-2-5-inch-15k-rpm-hard-drive/
This drive would be perfect for a Boot Drive in OS X. It would be small an sturdy and fast for your OS partition where it counts. Then you could use standard SATA drives for your main storage. I'd like to setup a system like this. I wish Apple could devise a system where you could use like 6 2.5" drives or the 4 SATA drives they have now. Make the controller SAS so that you have SAS and SATA support with the ability to mix and match and you have the perfect tiered storage workstation. ]]>Jan 16th 2007 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/seagate-unveils-worlds-fastest-2-5-inch-15k-rpm-hard-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/seagate-unveils-worlds-fastest-2-5-inch-15k-rpm-hard-drive/
