OCZ reveals Core Series SATA II 2.5 SSDs: 128GB for $479

My guess would be MLC. But the differences between MLC and SLC from a long term standpoint may not be as big of a concern as originally thought by the consumer market.... Time will tell

SSDs save battery power, right? Wrong.

I think the SSD's you have tested are lame. Get an Mtron, Intel or STEC SSD and rerun your tests.

Save yourself a few bucks and get Michael Biehn instead. He should be looking for work right now.

That's their 'burst rate' which is basically just the cache helping the marketing department.

That's exactly the issue. Initially, there is no seek because the entire drive is basically empty. After things start to fill up, the wear levelling has to find cells that haven't been written to multiple times. Intially, there is no seek time because there are plenty of cells that can be used. As those cells start to fill with data or they become marked as being written to many times, the amount of cells decreases. After that... I don't know...

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
