Shame it's 15mm high, otherwise I'd put one in a PS3...

After getting used to the SSD in the Eee PC (although it's small and way slower than the Mitron Pro) the access time really does make a huge difference in booting and application loading, it 'feels' much faster than an average HDD in real world usage even though raw throughput benchmarks tell a different story.
Just a shame that the SATA II spec SSD's are still just a little too pricey at the moment, but I'm prepared to buy a good one anyway in a couple of months.

| Nice to see some innovation in the HDD area, although the $/GB is a little rich for me. |

SSDs are unlikely to get decent value in the next few years. There's a lot of new tech being developed in that area for both RAM and storage, but when we'll see any of it is a dang good question.
Heh. |

| The drive's single-user scores, climbing by as much as 30% when compared to the WD1500ADFD's, blow away those of every other disc. Its noise and power measurements are among the lowest we have ever recorded. Topping it all off, the unit's multi-user scores for the first time bring a Raptor drive within striking distance of that of a 10K RPM SAS unit. |
