I'll be a bit more interested in these when they can get a 100+ gig drive that I could put in my laptop for less then half the price of the laptop.]]>Feb 1st 2008 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/intel-and-micron-develop-worlds-fastest-nand-kiss-ssd-rand/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/intel-and-micron-develop-worlds-fastest-nand-kiss-ssd-rand/Feb 1st 2008 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/intel-and-micron-develop-worlds-fastest-nand-kiss-ssd-rand/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/intel-and-micron-develop-worlds-fastest-nand-kiss-ssd-rand/
If that's not been improved, then faster writes really just means shorter lifespans.]]>Feb 1st 2008 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/intel-and-micron-develop-worlds-fastest-nand-kiss-ssd-rand/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/intel-and-micron-develop-worlds-fastest-nand-kiss-ssd-rand/http://infiniteadmin.com/index.php/emc-symmetrix-dmx-4-ssd-support/
It looks like most manufacturers are sticking with slc rather than mlc. I guess it's just not there yet.]]>Feb 1st 2008 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/intel-and-micron-develop-worlds-fastest-nand-kiss-ssd-rand/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/intel-and-micron-develop-worlds-fastest-nand-kiss-ssd-rand/
That number increases geometrically with the size of the SSD and with the write endurance rating. Taking into account that almost no drive is subjected to anywhere near continuous writing, that both capacities and endurance ratings are increasing rapidly, and that this article was written in 2006, could we please be rid of this primordial fear of the solid state drive?

also the standard interface war is still interesting

Lifespan is now the main concern, after verifying rates that match this..]]>Feb 4th 2008 12:51PM
