Please wake me up when this "option" becomes doubled in size and halfed in price :)]]>Jul 15th 2008 1:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/

The new Core series is a lot cheaper and I hope carries the same or better spec as the old one Tom tested.]]>Jul 15th 2008 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/Jul 15th 2008 1:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/
Remember guys, power-efficiency has been perfected for over two decades on modern HDDs, while SSDs are a comparatively new technology. Everyone needs to give them some time to work out all the issues and optimize the performance and power efficiency of these devices. I'm sure in time they will absolutely blow away spinning platters in speed, latency, and power usage.]]>Jul 15th 2008 1:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/Jul 15th 2008 4:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/

Does anyone know what the power consumption or performance specs are in the new Sony or Lenovo laptops?

As far as I can read, they don't actually specify the specs of the drives in the laptop detail pages... I wouldn't want to fork over all that extra cash and get a slow, last generation SSD.

Anyone steer me in the right direction here?]]>Jul 15th 2008 5:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/If you want SSD as an option, expect lower battery time and MUCH higher price.]]>Jul 15th 2008 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/Jul 15th 2008 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/

I stopped reading Tom's with their nVidia scandal way back when (I can't even remember what the scandal was).

Glad I didn't put them back on the bookmarks.]]>Jul 15th 2008 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/
SSD Average Watt Consumption: (2.5 + 3.0 + 1.0 + 2.0)/4 = 2.125W
HDD Average Watt Consumption: (2.3 + 2.4 + 1.8 + 2.8)/4 = 2.325W

A whole 2 tenths of a watt? Hmm...massive efficiency increase. A whole 10 minutes more like the other test claiming SSD was still more efficient?
Well fuck, give me the 320 GB Seagate Momentus anyday.

P.S.: I had to drop one of the SSD test results for the average as they had 5 tested drives and only 4 traditional HDDs were tested.]]>Jul 15th 2008 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/http://www.bluefi.co.uk with so far just an unboxing video and some HD Tune results.

I'm not a professional reviewer so it's not in-depth but I'm going to be putting up some power stats soon compared to my normal notebook drive, which is the reason I bought the SSD.]]>Jul 16th 2008 6:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/toms-hardware-rescinds-ssd-power-test-finds-them-more-efficien/
