You didn't read the article did you? This isn't the Adamo XPS which Dell has apparently been keeping "as a supposedly secret", this is last year's model.

To be honest, if they put this stuff into the old Adamo, i would assume they put it into the new one as well. Why would you buy this one if you could buy the new one with same specs and a sexier frame?]]>Oct 19th 2009 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/Oct 19th 2009 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/
With memory on a chip, it is far easier and more natural to address the memory (be it RAM or SSD) in powers of two. I mean, you could make a 250 GB SSD, but then you'd be wasting a bit of addressing space, and with SSDs and RAM it would be a crying shame (because you'd be adding all the extra stuff to support that extra addressing bit without making use of all the extra addresses it provides). It's less of an issue with disk drives because an address maps to a simple physical location on the disk anyway and any extra addressing only adds additional complexity in one area. (Though in the earlier days of HDs, it was pretty common to see them in powers of two, also.)

I may be oversimplifying it, but that's the gist. Also, since SSDs are so expensive, manufacturers probably want to emphasize as much of the storage space as possible and tout the extra 6 GBs rather than round down (like they do with a lot of the HDs today).]]>Oct 19th 2009 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/

Well yeah most of the crap and I really mean crap that comes out of his mouth is just stupid. For example his comment up there, and I quote "the same reason why RAM always goes in 2, 4, 8GB as well." ummm lets see for as far as I can remember this has never been true, I really don't want to go into details but lets see I remember ram goes by 128K byte sizes multiplied by whatever exponent to get to that total number. So basically you don't need to have even numbers you can have 1, 3, 6, 9 and so forth the reason why its 256 because it's probably don't quote me on this cheaper just to manufacture 2GB chips or whatnot and instead of one GB chips but I think a 250GB SSD would definately be physically possible.]]>Oct 19th 2009 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/Oct 19th 2009 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/Oct 19th 2009 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/Oct 19th 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/Not quite actually. Several NAND "block"s are tied to some form of controller, which these days is capable of quite a lot. Anyway, each block must be a power of 2 in size. The controller has a maximum amount of them that it can talk to, which is a power of 2 as well, but you can of course, have less than that amount.

The problem however, is that a lot of drivers are written assuming the total is a power of 2, because this makes the math a lot simpler and faster. ]]>Oct 19th 2009 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/Oct 19th 2009 11:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/Oct 20th 2009 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/dell-adamo-desire-gets-2-1ghz-core-2-duo-sl9600-256gb-ssd/
