I'm going to take a guess you are one of the same people who won't buy an Ipod Touch until they reach 128GB, saying they are entirely useless without some enormous amount of memory.
I'd be willing to wager that 90% of laptop owners today don't use all their HDD capacity.
I don't think most people will need large amounts of storage in notebooks, especially subnotebooks and UMPCs. Now I'm not saying 32GB SSDs will work for most people, but even 64GB would be adequate for a majority of people if they have an external drive for media, and 128GB would be a definite sweet spot. I don't think high-capacity SSDs will be standard for mainstream $1000 laptops anytime soon, they will fall very quickly in price and I expect higher end $2000 laptops will have them standard. Obviously this will change over the coming years, and maybe another solution for larger notebooks in the short term at least would be to have one small capacity 32GB/64GB SSD and a larger, slower 250GB drive

Price: $4000

HAHAHAHAHA OMMMGGGG

Nevertheless, that's all good news. We need more high capacity SSDs in the market to bring the price down, including the current Vaio TZ line.]]>Feb 18th 2008 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/mtron-announces-a-1-8-inch-128gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/mtron-announces-a-1-8-inch-128gb-ssd/Feb 18th 2008 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/mtron-announces-a-1-8-inch-128gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/mtron-announces-a-1-8-inch-128gb-ssd/

And then grab one of these:

Not bad for the price, anyone know what's the biggest CF Card made?

You could also use this one: Dual CF Card to IDE :]

But then, this is a 1.8" drive, the only place to really care about a 1/8" SSD is in ultraportables, UMPC's, and PMP/DAP's. If I really wanted quiet in a desktop or server (but not total silence, which is usually acceptable), I'd be looking at suspending a 2.5" 5400 RPM drive.]]>Feb 19th 2008 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/mtron-announces-a-1-8-inch-128gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/mtron-announces-a-1-8-inch-128gb-ssd/
My SSD is smaller than yours.
And it can store more stuff than yours.]]>Feb 19th 2008 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/mtron-announces-a-1-8-inch-128gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/mtron-announces-a-1-8-inch-128gb-ssd/http://rocketdisk.com/index.php
