You'd have to sell your house to afford this puppy, but just the fact that it's out is very encouraging. It uses the SCSI interface because it was a prototype and never really intended for release. In fact the makers refuse to divulge the price. I guess it's not for sale. But they DID make a 1.6tb SSD. Geeze, I thought it'd take a few more years for SSD's to even BEGIN to surpass regular hard drives, but I guess I was wrong. I'm guessing in 5 years most members here will have computers powered by SSD's.

The rate and speed at which it progresses can be amazing indeed, and how far it can progress as well. |

Are there any tests of longetivity of ssd cards? I know usb has so many read/write cycles before they give up the ghost...what about ssd? Do you know Austin? I just think too many read/write cycles will kill these flash memory type storage devices faster than their metal counterparts. |

They can't be 100% sure because they can't really test it in real life, but according to their models you'd have to fill and delete this SSD at it's highest read/write speed for 260+ years before you saw any signs of degradation. I can't wait till hard drives go the way of the dinosaurs.
