SSD… Bleh. I’d hate the thought of having a device for a couple of years or so and then realising that segments of the drive were reaching their wipe limit and thus errors were appearing all over the place. MRAM will be king when they finally figure out how to make the writing head more precise. Check out MRAM on Wiki, the last i read they had 4 MB chips reading and writing at rates close to Level 2 cache speeds on CPU’s. Whats better is that it’s persistant memory and it should be more reliable that current HDDs (similar technology to current HDD’s in the fact it uses opposing magnetic fields to store data but without the downside of moving parts)

That drive would be a sweet upgrade for the HP mininote…

I probably read into it too much Brad. I saw the flash module news as well and probably blurred the line for the product target. I’ll update the post / title; thanks!

Actually, the 256GB SSD is for higher end notebooks. Toshiba is introducing 8,16, and 32GB units for netbooks.
