Raon Digital’s latest edition of the Everun has the SSD or Solid State Disk drive treatment and our friends at Dynamism just shot me a note about it. They’re offering to import the Everun with 32 GB of SSD for $1,099. From what I can see, the unit doesn’t have a single 32 GB drive, but instead has two: an 8 GB and a 24 GB; not sure if they appear as one drive or two on the unit. What’s even more interesting is that the flash used for the drives looks to be different if I’m reading the product page correctly.The 8 GB is listed as SLC while the 24 GB is shown as MLC. I take those to mean “single level cell” and “multi-level cell” respectively. If I recall correctly, MLC flash stores twice as much data in the same amount of space since it fits 2 bits in every cell as opposed to one.The Everun is powered by a 600 MHz AMD LX900 paired with 512 MB of RAM to power Windows XP Home. It’s not going to be the fastest machine by far, but if a small 1.1 pound UMPC with a keyboard is in your sights, you might want to pull the trigger.
