just about to order a gigabit network card and a 500gig drive to upgrade my network storage box and saw this... tis tempting !
its comething Ive been intrested in for a while :o
and heres a 32gig version http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?SAM-SS32GB
(bit pricy now tho...)
guess i need to benchmark my raid and see how it does... these run at 56MB/s read, 32MB/s write speeds
but with no seek time etc...

"wed be inclined to wait for 64GB SATA versions to appear later in the year"
oki-doki ;)
What happened to those Mram chips from a few years back? The review on this drive isnt very flattering considering even 5,400rpm drives were outpacing it in real-world tasks! :0
yeah, thats just what I was thinking :o
do you mean the gigabyte I-Ram ?
not sure what happend to them.... theyre too small / expensive for home users I think.... 8gig max... and you have to pay £150 for it... and then buy the 8gig of ram to go in it !
I thought there was suppose to be a big push with the launch of Vista for drives that are half solid state and half platter based?
Why would home users need solid state hard drives ? surely itd be for those people who like to vibrate their computers greatly... so laptop users and the army maybe ? or runners... but in home computers that sit on desks I cant see an advantage.
You may argue that its more reliable, but Ive got a 40GB maxtor HDD in my computer that has been running windows for many many years and its never broken down.

I thought the limit at the time was the SATA(iirc?) bus speed.
did they put out a sata version.... last time i looked they were only IDE.... but it was a long time ago :o
andy, the point to them is, they (shoult) be fast.... really really fast :o
Its still IDE afaik.
