Now make ONE product I can trust and we can talk about buying this SSD of yours.]]>Oct 3rd 2008 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/Oct 3rd 2008 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/
I don't mind Kinsington. I've used their Ram a long time. Not that RAM normally fails - so that might not be a decent argument.]]>Oct 3rd 2008 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/Counterfeiters would just counterfeit the "Made in Japan" part anyway so it's not a good way to tell if your stuff is genuine.]]>Oct 7th 2008 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/Oct 3rd 2008 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/Oct 3rd 2008 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/
Competition sparks innovation...]]>Oct 3rd 2008 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/OZC SDD's are certainly not the best. In fact they have some serious issues with the controller from Jmicro. Intel has a much better controller. Read this article at anandtech.com for some insight.

They're a glorified distributor; they buy first- and second-quality material, rebrand it, and sell it into the consumer and white-box markets, respectively. Only a handful of companies actually make RAM, like Samsung, Hynix, Micron, and Qimonda.]]>Oct 3rd 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/Oct 3rd 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/kingston-following-intel-into-the-ssd-game/
However I doubt I'll ever get to use SSD because they just won't be able to catch up with mechanical drives in terms of capacity. By the time SSD's become 1TB in size and just as afordable, mechanical drives would probably reach 2, 3 or even 4TB (which I'd need as the content on my fileserver expands daily).

SSD will that one thing that always escapes me. :(]]>Oct 3rd 2008 6:36PM
