Solid State Hard Drives

http://live.pirillo.com/ – Swat sent me a video email, wondering what exactly a solid state hard drive is… and is it better than a regular hard drive.
A solid state drive is one that has no moving parts. This makes it faster, lighter and thinner. These types of drives are ideal for laptop (portable) use. As of right now, these solid state drives are only available in high end models of laptops. Eventually, I think this will be the standard.
Many people believe that the wave of the future is going to involve having a solid state memory that your Operating System runs from. This will greatly increase the speed of your startup, and probably increase overall performance. I’m tired of waiting! The future of computing is exciting, and I wish it were here now!

Wave of the future? I worked on a solid state drive drive for DEC Vax Clusters back in 1988. 240 MB of memory with hard drive backup in case power failed. We had 12 minutes of battery power to pull everything off memory onto a hard drive. The SSD was designed to hold the most highly accessed VMS system files in order to speed up the OS.
The technology isn’t new, it’s just taken 20 years for memory to get cheap enough to consider using just an SSD as the primary drive for a machine.

Last Time I checked Solid State hdd’s were still having troubles with the amount of times you can read/write to a specific piece of the rom ,
I believe i read somewhere that samsung had gotten around this issue somehow but my memory escapes me at the moment.

SSDs need to get cheaper and we need larger capacities. I wont be using SSDs anytime soon. Will be sticking to SATA for my personal computers and SCSI for my servers.
