Fast user switching does similar with privacy implications. If you switch from user A to user B, the screenshot of A's desktop used in the transition can under some circumstances be displayed on B's screen-I have only seen this in a bug in VLC but surely an application could exploit this on purpose. Also if it is even briefly on the hard drive it could be recovered if not overwritten.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
