A-DATA has shown off prototypes of an upcoming solid-state drive for ExpressCard, IDE and SATA interfaces. The samples have capacities of 32, 64 and 128 GB. The 32 and 64 GB drives come in 1.8" form factors while the 128 GB drive is in a 2.5" size. Solid state drives promise to be much faster than traditional hard drives. Since there are no moving parts, the drives can reach sustained read speeds of 62 MB/s and have an access time in the sub-millisecond range. Regular hard drives typically have access times between 8 and 19 ms. In addition, SSDs promise to enhance battery life by a few minutes. A-Data didn't specify the price, but did say that mass production should start late Q1 2007.

I fear that I have ruined her for lesser men. After a session with me, she can go weeks without needing another.
Now answer me this, what can she go weeks without needing? Another session, or another man?
LOL

Ooh!

I'm putting you on a very special list.


Here's an idea I had for a tee-shirt slogan ...

"Don't Call Me Odd! -- I'll Get Even One Day!"


By the way ... another session.

How expensive is it? If cheap enough, it could be used for laptop (and even desktop) hard drives.

Don't know....

For one like me who wants to archive my negatives onto the hard drive, a solid state drive would speed up the process and could be popped in and out of my computer as I need them. I hope I don't have to wait for ages like I am for Canon/Toshiba's 55-inch SED HDTV.

I want to see the prices....

But Monsieur...if you must ask...you cannot afford it, naturellement.
