Now all we need is a sata300 interface and full sized hdd size
Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.2Ghz (400Mhzx8) 1.52V (set in bios, 1.47v real) | 4GB GeIL PC6400 4-4-4-12 | Gigabyte DQ6 @ 1600Mhz | HD2900XT 1GB | Enermax Infiniti 720W | Silverstone TJ07-B with custom watercooling | BenQ FP241WZ
3dmark05 - 13140 | 3dmark06 - 6698 | SuperPi 1M - 15s
I'm looking forward to the tech. Hopefully in the next 10 years I can have my main HD be one of these and just plug in a SATA hot swap when I need to edit my super hi-res HD++++ 22.4 chanel movies and music.
Anyone know how that compares to a normal hard disk?The unit's controller supports data transfer rates of up to 33.3MBps
This seems perfect for my htpc, i dont need anything more than 20gb as i store all my media on a server. I want cool, quiet, fast and less power. Seems very suitable.
33.3MBps isn't all that quick. It's usually possible to get above 50MB/s on a decent modern drive when performing a sustained sequential transfer.
Would be interesting to see how a hard drived fared against it in random access tests, however.

Does NAND flash still have a limited lifespan? because i always assumed this is why solid state hard drives haven't been made sooner.
Ditto, i ahve been concerned about running portable apps off my flash drive for that very reason. Is there something i'm missing?Originally Posted by kasavien
Indeed they do have a limited lifespan.
There is an article about hybrid drives this weeks computer weekly that make some good reading on the subject.
