    176GB solid-state flash drive

    That's a lot of solid state memory!
    The FFD Ultra320 SCSI meets the MIL-STD-810F standards for shocks, vibrations and altitude. Its high level of endurance is enabled by its embedded TrueFFS® flash management software, which provides more than five million write/erase cycles. The FFD Ultra320 SCSI operates at —40°c to +85°c and complies with the NSA, DoD, IRIG 106, US Air Force, Navy and Army procedures for data sanitization (purge).

    5 million write/erase cycles wouldn't last long on a desktop drive though, would they?

    flash memory keeps getting better, i would imadgine make it last longer would be the next step. You could alwase use a drive like that for booting to an os that runs entirely in a hudge about of RAM>
