it's random access snappiness that ssdrives are great at, while hddrives are quite capable with sequential operations
plus an ssd tends to use more power

tho' the silence thing is a good point]]>Feb 11th 2010 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/Feb 11th 2010 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/
I am pretty sure hard drives are rarely, if ever better than SSDs of equal size performance wise. SSDs also take much less power.
Power Consumption (Active) 150 mW Typical
Power Consumption (Idle) 75 mW Typical
For the Intel X25-V SSDSA2MP040G2R5 2.5" 40GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive

The Western Digital Caviar Green with 1TB of storage uses about 4780 mW idle and 6500 mW on load, according to this review:

Since when is 4780]]>Feb 11th 2010 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/Since when is 4780 better than 150/75?

There, I think you meant to finish that thought, but we all got the general idea. I think what mrqs was getting at was that for certain aspects, your magnetic drives are better in a sense. If you totally ignore price per GB and lifetime issues, in some instances the standard drive will be a better choice, and in some the SSD will (as you pointed out with power consumption).

Though I would argue that power consumption would be more of a issue with a mobile platform than with a desktop (which was mrqs' original comment was based on) unless one worries about the machine being a little greener.

Everything has arguments for and against, but sometimes it's easy to forget that, especially when news as exciting as this hits.]]>Feb 11th 2010 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/
Addendum: Just caught this line "plus an ssd tends to use more power." In this instance you were right, but I think most of my argument still holds water. ]]>Feb 11th 2010 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/

I was thinking the exact same thing. However, I'm wondering either if the 2Gbps rating is per NAND chip (which seems somewhat unlikely) or if an Engadget editor meant to write 2GBps, which would be 16Gbps and would indeed be revolutionary (assuming there was a bus capable of handling that sort of bandwidth at that time.)]]>Feb 11th 2010 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/Feb 11th 2010 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/Feb 11th 2010 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/You're forgetting the issue of speed.

@article: I don't need 1TB. But if they can do 256GB drive with 70% less energy usage... and if they can achieve a similar price reduction too... then I'm certainly interested. (I don't really know if disk drives are a significant portion of netbook power use, but a teeny-tiny 64GB drive with very lower power usage would certainly be nice for a netbook, too.)]]>Feb 11th 2010 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/Feb 11th 2010 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/Feb 12th 2010 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/keio-university-and-toshiba-ready-tiny-1tb-ssds-for-2012/
