The 8GB SuperTalent DH USB flash drive is good example; stellar performance and rediculously cheap price, as per Xbitlabs USB thumb-drive round-up: <a href="http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory/display/4gb-usbflash-roundup_9.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory/display/4gb-usbflash-roundup_9.html</a>      <br><br>Thanks for posting the prices!  Thats very helpful, and I wish the article authors had taken not only the time & care to retrieve prices, but also to compare them against old prices.  It really shows what the SSD buzz is all about, seeing such a dramatic shift!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rektide]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 22nd 2008 3:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Super Talent makes MasterDrive MX SSDs slightly faster]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/super-talent-makes-masterdrive-mx-ssds-slightly-faster/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/super-talent-makes-masterdrive-mx-ssds-slightly-faster/</guid><description><![CDATA[How about a portable "hard drive" SSD?
