But who knows... if I upgrade to Apple's next gen of Macbook I may not, because it's too much of a "Pro" feature (ala firewire)]]>Dec 15th 2008 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/Dec 15th 2008 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/Dec 15th 2008 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/ 1000, Mega -> 1000kilo, Giga -> 1000Mega, Tera -> 1000Giga .... Mili -> 1/100 bytes?

lower case m is the scientific prefix for milli, and lower case b means bits so technically Andy was correct in what he said.

Upper case M means mega, and Upper case B means Bytes so MB/s is what he meant.]]>Dec 15th 2008 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/
You're not being clever. The 'bit' is a quantised unit, meaning that you cannot divide it by 1000. There can be no amount of data less than a bit.

Pedantry beaten by yet more pedantry.]]>Dec 15th 2008 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/
You ruined my day!]]>Dec 15th 2008 7:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/
FYI milli- = 1/1000, centi- = 1/100

@ KarlW

I thought quantized is spelled with a z (IE sux). I also thought that with rates you can absolutely have less that your quantized value. Example: 1 bit per minute (bit/minute) = .0167 bit per second (bit/s).]]>Dec 15th 2008 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/
Quantised is the Brit version of the word. Nothing wrong with it.]]>Dec 15th 2008 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/
Nonetheless, it is commonly used because a common unit makes comparing things easier. It's technically wrong. Since the poster was pedantic enough to go for capitalisation, I felt it acceptable to refute his point with more pedantry.]]>Dec 15th 2008 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/Dec 15th 2008 6:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/Dec 15th 2008 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/
Yeah, I had to Google that one...]]>Dec 15th 2008 7:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/Dec 15th 2008 8:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/Dec 15th 2008 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/

I know people techically already do this with eSATA hard drives but who has time to keep an eSATA cable and possibly a power cord or AC adapter?]]>Dec 15th 2008 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/Dec 15th 2008 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/Dec 15th 2008 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/ocz-unveils-throttle-esata-ssd-flash-drive/
