Parallel ultra160 scsi is still the only solution for gamer and hd video rigs. Until they have affordable drives with reasonable space, that can do at least 170MB/s transfer rates, getting a (so called) faster pc with a top speed cpu and gpu is pretty futile, you'll never see a speed improvement for games or any applications software as long as 40MB/S mainstream sata drives are the pcs main drive.
While cpus speeds and effiency improved 1000 times over the last 26 years hard drive speeds improved little if at all in that time! actually pata was faster, sata hdds still cycle at a whimpering 200Hz 40MB/s while cpus are in the GHZ GB/s range.. a 2500$ pc with a sata drive is no faster than a 350$ pc with that same drive thats why a new rig dont feel any faster. , no matter what cpu and gpu specs , so hdd improvement is waaaayyyy overdue , Anyways Glad the dutch are looking for other solutions rather than sticking with those bottlenecking drives.
During his WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs touted iCloud as a service that will sync many of your Apple devices, for free. Macs, iPhones, iPads, and even Windows computers can synchronize documents, contacts, calendar appointments, and other data.
