I don't see this as an issue. This drive will double their file transfer rate (critical for video scratch disks) as well as add in extra durability. I think it's a rather wonderful thing to lust after.<br><br>Of course, for guys like me, I'd rather store movies on it. Which rules out the SSD as it is low capacity and expensive ..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[King of**Rainbow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 11th 2009 8:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro takes longer to say than to boot]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/owc-mercury-on-the-go-pro-takes-longer-to-say-than-to-boot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/owc-mercury-on-the-go-pro-takes-longer-to-say-than-to-boot/</guid><description><![CDATA[Given the stupidity of eSATA with its lack of power, the sooner it dies the better.
