but who cares. 4 years from now these thigns will be dirt cheap.

remember just 3 years ago when 17" lcd's were $999?
ya, that didn't stick too long now did it.
flash, be it normal or ssd is small, more and more companies will be pumping it out, expect 1tb within 3 months]]>Sep 11th 2007 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/bitmicro-crams-416gb-of-ssd-into-2-5-inch-ide-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/bitmicro-crams-416gb-of-ssd-into-2-5-inch-ide-hdd/Sep 11th 2007 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/bitmicro-crams-416gb-of-ssd-into-2-5-inch-ide-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/bitmicro-crams-416gb-of-ssd-into-2-5-inch-ide-hdd/
Still, a nice RAID array of these, in a quad-quad-core Opteron system with 64GB of RAM and Quad-SLI Quadro Graphics cards should come close to running Vista at a reasonable rate... ;) j/k.]]>Sep 11th 2007 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/bitmicro-crams-416gb-of-ssd-into-2-5-inch-ide-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/bitmicro-crams-416gb-of-ssd-into-2-5-inch-ide-hdd/
I'll take 3.11 for workgroups anyday, thank you. And that's coming from an OS X user.]]>Sep 12th 2007 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/bitmicro-crams-416gb-of-ssd-into-2-5-inch-ide-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/bitmicro-crams-416gb-of-ssd-into-2-5-inch-ide-hdd/

So that would mean this drive would cost $3,587.50 which honestly isn't that incredibly bad. But factor in low production, and maybe some special engineering (plus the fact that if you NEED this you can afford it) it could be anywhere from 5 to 10 grand (complete conjecture).

256 gb ssd + 128 gb ssd + 32 gb ssd = 416 gb ssd

I believe that you've got GB and Gb reversed. I think "B" is bytes and "b" is bits.

But good thought on checking that. Internet providers like to play that game all the time. That would suck if other mediums adopted marketing things in "b"s instead of "B"s.]]>Sep 11th 2007 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/bitmicro-crams-416gb-of-ssd-into-2-5-inch-ide-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/bitmicro-crams-416gb-of-ssd-into-2-5-inch-ide-hdd/Sep 11th 2007 8:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/bitmicro-crams-416gb-of-ssd-into-2-5-inch-ide-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/bitmicro-crams-416gb-of-ssd-into-2-5-inch-ide-hdd/Sep 11th 2007 11:01PM
