Almost all electronics can be damaged with static, including magnetic drives' attached controller which aren't too cheap to repair/replace.  However, theres no bearings to burn up, motors to fail, headers to crash on the SSD.  SSD also produces less heat ... an nemesis for most electronic's life span.<br><br>SSD is pretty ideal for portable drives ... smaller, lighter, durable.  USB 2.0 is a good match with a 40MBps transfer speed, if the flash can pull reads near that speed, this is a great drive.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ScareyJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2007 12:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Buffalo unveils a 100GB flash drive]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/buffalo-unveils-a-100gb-flash-drive/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/buffalo-unveils-a-100gb-flash-drive/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hey, Can someone do the math for me...
