researchers are working on solid state drives and cards trying to reduce environmental impact though less plastic, more efficient production methods with less greenhouse gases etc. less consumer energy costs, less clutter, even less noise pollution.

this is creating a real race and optical might just lose in the end. likely take 4-5 years but it could take that long for a 320 GB disk to be practical for general use. so we'll see.

Anyway, I hope it's not another format. Hopefully it' blu-ray and most of us are waiting for blu-ray writers to get cheaper. haha.
