Miltiades Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Think of the possibilities! Deleting things others shouldn't see in less than a second. Never an embarrassing moment in front of your PC again! It's really awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjølen Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 It was NOT over 2GB a second. It was 2018MB/s. That's well under 2GB/s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrrtoken Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Only problem is SSDs are still uber-expensive, like $550 USD for a 256 GB-er. Still, the technology is always improving, and with it, the price will decrease and the storage space will increase year by year, so they'll eventually phase out the rather archaic hard disks in, perhaps, ten years. Either way, they're great for notebooks, especially if you're accident prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHawke Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 It at least isn't a spinning plastic disc covered in rust holding my data. Or it might be... just instead of magnets it might use elves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 hehe.... a tech thread in AHTO I think a few are getting their Gb(gigabits) confused with GB(gigabytes) Serial ATA Standard Revision 3.0 (Sata III), was announced by the Sata-IO Trade Association in July 2008 which will enable 6Gb/s Seagate and AMD actually performed a tech demo of this just last monday(Mar 9) A pic from the seagate/amd demo buffer read test It is estimated that the first sata 3 enabled hardware(drives, mainboards) will start trickling out later this year. No definite word about a Sata3 spec SSD, but Im sure its on its way shortly, between intel and samsung and the like On first release though, you're better off putting the several hundred dollars they'll cost into a nice graphics card instead, which will allow you to have much more fun that watching the file transfer status bar move quickly If you found this topic interesting, you should follow the news thread in the tech forum (click the droids in my sig to get there) mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aash Li Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 ooo raid ooo 24 drives ooo oo ooo ancient technology oo oooo fffff What did you do, watch the first few minutes see raid and 24 drives and then go "pffft thats old news!" And the not watch the rest? Solid-state hard drives are what we're all excited about, not 24 HDs on a raid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Remember, kids that in the tech arena, the early-adopter screws the pooch. But anyone here is perfectly welcome to buy a ridiculously overpriced SSD and serve as a guinea pig for those of us who are patient enough to wait for the inevitability of price drops and more reliable versions.

True. Still, its cool to see how technology is advancing. Dad (who's an engineer) went to a Sun convention and they were talking about making hybrid disk/ssd drives. Cool stuff.

Solid-state hard drives are what we're all excited about, not 24 HDs on a raid. lol, yes, I did watch it all, but a proper RAID setup increases bandwidth a lot, which means the trick is not really done by SSD hardware, so at the end of the day that video says zip about SSD capabilities, also, SSD is not really all that new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sally, meet Harry... ooo raid ooo 24 drives ooo oo ooo ancient technology oo oooo fffff and Harry, meet Sally Still, its cool to see how technology is advancing. How about integrating tech into our own body? After a motorcycle accident, this guy got a 2gb usb drive ported onto his prostetic finger. Holds a Linux distro apparently.... source mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrtoken Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I want to partition my brain so that I can put Ubuntu on it. Don't use Windows though; you're screwed if you get a BSoD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
