It would be nothing fascinating if those were not SSDs. But SSDs are still too expensive to consider them anyway. At least for me.

2 TB hard drive is about the same price as 128 GB SSD, if not cheaper.]]>Feb 25th 2009 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/buffalo-intros-shd-nsum-series-ssds-with-usb-and-sata-ii-interfa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/buffalo-intros-shd-nsum-series-ssds-with-usb-and-sata-ii-interfa/
Obviously most SSDs (besides someone wanting absolute best performance in a multi-SSD RAID setup) are targeted for use on laptops, where existing 2.5" drives, even 7200RPM ones, are much slower than desktop counterparts, use more energy and are not shock-tolerant.

A good SSD like a OCZ Apex/Vertex, Intel X25M, etc makes any Core2 Duo laptop scream...]]>Feb 25th 2009 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/buffalo-intros-shd-nsum-series-ssds-with-usb-and-sata-ii-interfa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/buffalo-intros-shd-nsum-series-ssds-with-usb-and-sata-ii-interfa/
WTF ??? Really what does that mean ?

And then we have eSATA, which doesn't carry POWER.

Regardless, not the most useful post despite rodrighostdabest's opinion. ]]>Feb 25th 2009 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/buffalo-intros-shd-nsum-series-ssds-with-usb-and-sata-ii-interfa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/buffalo-intros-shd-nsum-series-ssds-with-usb-and-sata-ii-interfa/
"That means you can image the drive prior to dropping it into whatever gadget is getting an SSD speed boost, or alternatively should your computer suffer a hardware failure it’s straightforward to salvage data from it. Buffalo claim a 30-percent speed boost over a standard HDD."

That is a pretty cool bonus after all.]]>Feb 25th 2009 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/buffalo-intros-shd-nsum-series-ssds-with-usb-and-sata-ii-interfa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/buffalo-intros-shd-nsum-series-ssds-with-usb-and-sata-ii-interfa/
In addition, it's got a USB interface, so you can pull it out and take it easily to another computer. Not revolutionary or anything, but a really neat idea.]]>Feb 25th 2009 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/buffalo-intros-shd-nsum-series-ssds-with-usb-and-sata-ii-interfa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/buffalo-intros-shd-nsum-series-ssds-with-usb-and-sata-ii-interfa/
