So, probably not.]]>Aug 15th 2008 5:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/
I happen to live in Boise, where Micron resides. Were it not for this partnership between the financially-troubled Micron and the rich-as-hell Intel, this would never have been possible.

You know I'll be buying this to (hopefully) replace my sh*tty dell stock HDD (I have had many problems with it). 160GB has been perfect for me, and I hope this will be cheap enough.

Oh, and I have to support Boise while I'm at it (directly or indirectly).]]>Aug 15th 2008 4:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/Aug 15th 2008 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/Aug 15th 2008 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/Aug 15th 2008 5:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/Aug 15th 2008 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/

We just need to get more people (especially Microsoft) to use standard units. 1 MB really is 1,000,000 bytes. 1 MiB is 1,048,576 bytes. (see http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix) When people say that they got a new 250GB drive, formatted it under Microsoft Windows, and "lost" 17GB, it's because Microsoft and some other vendors are mislabeling units. Microsoft is using GiB, but labeling as GB. It's like comparing liters to quarts, but calling them both quarts.]]>Aug 15th 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/
I suggest the solution to this problem lies less in restating the unit, and more in psychotherapy...]]>Aug 16th 2008 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/
Like with autos, I'm thinking Hybrid is the way to go for the time being. Yes, massive SS memory, but on top of a traditional magnetic disk. Hey, you got Magnetic Disk on my SSD. No, you got SSD on my Magnetic disk. It's the Reeses solution.]]>Aug 15th 2008 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/Aug 15th 2008 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/Aug 15th 2008 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/intels-mainstream-80gb-and-160gb-ssds-ready-to-launch-with-ma/even it is technically possible, the companies just won't give up a chance to juice your wallet.
