Seems very pointless for 1'000 dollars..]]>Feb 18th 2010 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/kingston-ships-256gb-datatraveler-310-usb-flash-drive-to-affluen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/kingston-ships-256gb-datatraveler-310-usb-flash-drive-to-affluen/SSD based?

Do you even know what SSD stands for? Or do you just throw around buzzwords and hope they make sense?]]>Feb 18th 2010 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/kingston-ships-256gb-datatraveler-310-usb-flash-drive-to-affluen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/kingston-ships-256gb-datatraveler-310-usb-flash-drive-to-affluen/I do know the basic difference between USB flash drive and SSD drives.
Mostly from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_drive
but if you have any information which could be useful do please share.

Interesting to note is that (OWC) macsales made a new SSD (superfast) which could be bus-powered (using a casing) costs 779 USD for 200GB but it has 260 / 270 read/write speed vs. this crappy stuff at 25/12 for 1000 USD.
