32 GB Solid State Disk

[Bushwacker]

How would you like to have a HDD that lasts 50 years?

SSD is the future, make no mistake. With Silicon Power's product the dynamics change a bit. A couple of weeks ago they released a new series of drives. We got one fresh from the factory, this is their all new revised version. Optionally they make use of SLC NAND flash based memory. In certain situations this type is not only faster, it's also 10 maybe 20 times more reliable as the number of write cycles (per cell) starts at 100,000 writes.

So in theory if the OCZ drive would last 5 years, this one could last 50 years.

stupid page keeps coming up black when I try to view it. so when you going to buy one of these things Bush?

[Bushwacker]

I don't know haven't given it much thought really. Still pretty pricey and the size's aren't large enough yet.

349 dollars for a 32GB drive isn't my idea of a good time.

[Almuric]

I know they make them as big as 128MB. These might actually be affordable enough when I get ready to build a new PC.

[Bushwacker]

Yeah 128MB isn't very much at all. you cant even install XP on it. You could probably get some flavor of Linux on it though.

[Almuric]

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant to say 128GB.

[Bushwacker]

LOL it's all good.

I need to read up a little more about these solid state drives. I wonder if one will be able to configure them in any kind of raid config. I would imagin you could, I mean why not. Surely they would consider this option.
