But that time, it'll be at least 50 years old, which would be equivalent to watching 1950-1960s pron now....which, IMO, is just, well, wrong....]]>Apr 24th 2008 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/

I don't think your SDD is making your eeepc that hot, its probably the other components.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/Apr 23rd 2008 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/
I just did a little reading up on the EEE's components. The CPU on it puts out 3-25 watts depending on load. The mobo and RAM add a few more watts each. The only other main heat producer is the storage. SSDs put out less than 1 watt. Spinning laptop storage tends to put out 2-3 watts.

The flash memory is not your heat problem.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/Apr 23rd 2008 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/
When I can buy a 500 gig SSD for the same price as a 500 gig HDD, then I'll consider it. Until then, no. ]]>Apr 23rd 2008 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/

in my opinion, you can't call them "solid state discs" anymore because there's no physical disc, just solid-state circuitry on a chunk of silicon. better refer to them as "solid state drives" if you want to avoid the ire of my fellow detail-oriented commenters.]]>Apr 24th 2008 1:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/Apr 24th 2008 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

Anyhow, what I believe is great is that for many people ~32 GB is more than enough storage space for the coming 3-4 years. I'm not looking at us nerds, I'm looking at those that make up the majority of computer buyers, companies and non-nerds. And a 32 GB SSD should be able to reach a sub-$100 price in two years time or so. And I'm not talking out my ass, the first groups to pick up SSD is companies as witnessed by notebooks from Toshiba, Dell and Lenovo which has packed these for a year or two.]]>Apr 24th 2008 3:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/
on a side note: a 2.5" 32Gb Transcend SSD can be had on ebay for about £135, in a couple of years a 512Gb I imagine will be available for a similar price?]]>Apr 24th 2008 7:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/toshiba-dreams-of-512gb-ssds-invites-you-to-join-in/
