dexter11 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Who's gonna buy it? It seems like SSD is the future. Dell is already offering it as an option for two of its laptops http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global....l=en&s=corp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I don't know about you, but I certainly couldn't afford to buy 1 Terabyte of flash memory... And I get the impression (just an impression, I've never seen any stats) that the current USB keyring thumb drive things do have a tendency to suffer from sporadic fits and data loss. Maybe the future drives will have safeguards or higher quality or something to prevent it happening so often but I've heard enough stories of corrupted USB keys to worry about it being used as a primary, permanent storage medium.

scarecrow Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 ...plus that SSD storage media have very limited reliability, compared to real harddisks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
