Solid State Hard Drives

Yes this seems promising IMO. Sandisk has a couple of models that are drop in replacements for conventional drives. One is a SCSI SSD drive with a 352 gig capacity
access time is 0.02 ms aparently. I think its just a matter of time until these gets a competative price, seeing what has happend with the price on portable usb drives.

Awesome!

very fast reads but very crappy write speeds.

would be fine as an OS drive but not to record to.

did you read the performance page of that review... the HHD marks were horrid

it should make a killer samples drive however

Do you refer to the sony vaio review? It tells more about the performance of that laptop than SSD drives in general IMO.

Check this.

I much prefer TUBE hard drives ...they just get pretty hot and the microphonics can be a bitch!

I would like to see the performance of a RAID array of four or maybe eight SSD's. They are small and they don't get hot so...

from what I'm reading, it seems the single-data read speed is super fast, but the sequential read-speed (as with audio) is actually slower than conventional drives. maybe I'm reading that wrong?

Anyway, the price - OUCH. That's not bleeding edge, it's Freddy Krueger edge.
