Agreed. Hopefully that'll mean some new advances in the tech as well as lower prices so us common folk might have a chance at some SSD goodness, lol.

No, but SSD still needs to increase. They consume less energy and produce less heat. That is something we are all looking forward to.

avrg speed of a modern HD is between 70-85 MB.sec

check out the HDtune score topic.

but, all moder days HDs have to seek, make a lot of noise, and in case of raptors, heat up the case. When a 32 or 64 GB SSD drops below $200, then they will start replacing th raptors (maybe sooner, but i think that 64 for 200 will convince many)
 
Yeah, drive looks way too slow to me...60MBs read and 50MBs write. Intel has announced a drive coming out in Q2 which is based on their 50nm NAND joint venture with Micron, the stuff that is 200MBs read and 100MBs write

This would be the dream for me, an entire cabinet of SSD's giving you multi terrabytes of storage, super low consumption, no sound, cool operation...

droools.
 
I just got in an MTRON MOBI 3000 for use in a high altitude laptop. 32GB is not much in the way of storage space, but for operating enviro it is plenty. I will report back once it is up and running XP Pro.
