This is a marketing LIE. The PQI 64GB SSD is actually the "world's thinnest" 64GB SSD. It is 8.45mm. More than a full 1mm thinner, or 11% thinner than the SimpleTech. I really wish parrots would do a little research before just spouting out what they are told. Here is the PDF on the manufacturer's website - http://www.pqi.com.tw/product2.asp?oid=142&cate1=151&PROID=280 . The SATA model of the 64GB is out now, with the IDE to follow early March '07.
And here is where I have found that entire line of SSDs (and much cheaper than SimpleTech, try finding a price on the SimpleTech. I'm curious, but I bit its WAY over $10,000) - http://www.dvnation.com/nand-flash-ssd.html
