Maybe for your unbelievably cheap ass. I think many of us just want a fast ~64GB 1.8" SSD that we can pair with a 300GB 2.5" HDD for a laptop, and with a price under $500 or so.

Dream laptop: (Macbook Pro, Dell XPS, Acer ?)
- 2.8Ghz Penryn Core2 Duo T9600 (35W TDP)
- 4GB DDR3 800mhz
- 64GB SATA II SSD
- 300GB 2.5" 7200RPM HDD
- Nvidia Geforce 8800M
- Blu-ray RW
- Expresscard 2.0
- USB 3.0/ Firewire 3200

Oh btw, just to remind everyone. The great new thing from nVidia (and ATI) is called HybridPower
and it allows a laptop to have an integrated and discrete graphics card that it switches between based upon usage. So when you are on battery, you can shut off the Geforce and get much better battery life and lower heat output, while still being able to either play games or use professional 3D apps.

Price: More than expected
Date: Moot point, see price

Indeed...

But really, given the (relatively) limited read/write life of NAND, and the fact that i could get a whole computer for the price of one of these, still no love for SSD from me...

Then again, i remember when 1gb was HUUUUUUGE, and was spanned on 9 disks because of the MTBF vs. how long it would take you to fill that much space....

*sigh* 20mb 5 1/4in drives.... good old days...]]>Mar 13th 2008 1:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/Mar 16th 2008 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/Mar 13th 2008 2:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/
So, offer us 4 to 8 times as much space as we need, and then offer us 4 to 8 times the price we can afford?

FAIL. 8GB is what I want; I will not buy more until they stop selling disk drives. Give me 8.]]>Mar 13th 2008 4:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/
Also, they are not quite at the point of large-scale mass production and so they have to recover R&D moneys and cash-in on the 'newness' factor before they become mainstream...]]>Mar 13th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/Mar 16th 2008 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/Mar 13th 2008 2:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/ocz-announces-32-64gb-sata-ii-ssds/
Seriously, these things are fairly small. A little bit of Velcro™ would make the possibilities endless!

One by an accidental drop...SSD proof.
Two because of mechanical failure...SSD proof.

16 gigs should be a minimum for OS drives.
Bigger drives are nice but way more expensive now.

People seem to forget that there are two types of Flash drives:
MLC (which has WAY more capacity but are way too slow for an OS. Low cost)

SLC (which is VERY fast but of course cost way more...)

Still a young technology, but in a couple more years, it will be standard stuff in all our gadgets!]]>Mar 15th 2008 10:28AM
