check your favorite tech shopping sites, they have them by other various vendors. I've had an IDE one for awhile, and the SATA versions are out, just not at $950 for 64gb. not that i'd get one yet, but if you're dying to try one, the 16gb are halfway reasonable prices.]]>Nov 8th 2007 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/Nov 28th 2007 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/
A hands on review usually means putting it through its paces, here it looks like a hands on review simply means taking pretty pictures of it.

Guess we will have to go elsewhere.

I think you will see these become useful as operating system (boot) disks on desktops sometime soon, with traditional platters used to supplement media storage. Hopefully price-feasible in the next couple of years.

Magnetic disks will not go away as long as media size is so big. My raw files from my camera are 15mb each, my music files are 5mb each, and my standard definition DVD ISOs are 8gb each. I have a 1.5tb NAS and I am out of room and need to upgrade to 1tb drives!

Looking forward to the full review, guys.

If you'd look at current mechanical hard disk MTBF's they are also pretty high, but some may fail a whole lot earlier than that and some may fail later. It's an estimate based on statistics and not an exact number.]]>Nov 18th 2007 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/08/samsungs-64gb-sata-ii-ssd-drive-hands-on/
These failures are not permanent and a quick format would fix things.
