Is that good or bad? I was looking at the 64GB ocz's a while ago. I posted a link with someone doing a RAID-5 with them and getting 500MBps.

from my experience comparing netbooks with SSD and traditional drives at work, the read/write speeds in most cases were slightly slower. But the difference between 20ms latency and 2ms is huge.

Granted these are 8GB whatever crap hp and dell throw in their netbooks drives.....no OCZ 30GB

the speed on ssds vary way more than hds

I'm okay with waiting another 10-15 seconds for windows 7 to finish loading, that is when I actually need to reboot it which seems to only be when I install something that requires restart.

Doesn't seem worth it until the $ comes down on those.

most OS's don't need more than 20GB. What they need to do is make a 60GB/500GB SSD/HD combo drive. that would rule.

$129 is an aweful price for that drive. slickdeals had had some under $100 deals on that.

this lady doesnt need more than 30gb i actually bumped her down from 60

The thing is people are buying laptops with 500GB drives when they only have 4GB or so of data. If people had the choice between quicker load times but a fraction of total storage size for around the same price i'd think it'd be a no brainer if people just realized they they don't always need the biggest and the fastest. If you have 4GB of data then the difference between a 500GB and a 30GB is just $$.

Speaking of....whatever happened to those mixed drives that would be able to load the OS into its built in SSD on bootup. Basically a drive that could hold the entire OS in its cache. I remember being intrigued when they first started talkin about them but havnt heard squat since.

I currently have 9TB of data that I would like to carry around with me.

and i would like my computer to automatically start loading my files and programs the nano second my brain begins to start thinking about them so that by the time i actually realize that i want to do something and go to click on it....it's already loaded.

That will probably be a reality around the time we start seeing 9TB memory sticks.

SDHC were suppose to be 2TB already, but they failed.
