SSD hard drives :drool:

[Cjl64]

I don't know about you guys.. but i am "hard" for SSD hard drives. I doubt i will be getting one any time soon because of the cost... but man i will be upgrading to 1 or 2 when they finally come down to reality.

There's a new one that reads at 100MB/sec and writes at 80MB/sec I believe... so hot

It's gonna be great when these solid state drives get down to acceptable prices - probably another couple of years away at least would you say?

Most likely

Fast access with no moving parts will make installs and access of data blazing fast. At least you would most likely be limited by the bus now rather than HD. Should make for a better PC IMO. But then again we have no real life span facts on these products. I would like to see what the heat produced by them would be as well.

I suppose the pioneers - i.e. the people who buy them now at these high prices, are the guinea pigs - if the ones they get now have a low failure rate in 2 or 3 years, then that would look promising for the longer term. Solid state is supposed to be a more durable tech, so you'd think not having moving parts would make things more reliable? As regards heat, I can imagine them requiring fans directly atttached, or large heatsinks, just to be on the safe side in hot cases.
