That sounds awesome. I have always had problems with low battery life. Also now with advancements in processors, batteries will finally be useful in laptops for extended time.

Hi Paul:

Duh Paul... Here's a quote from the article. Too bad your mental acuity is so dulled by your love of snarkiness. Have a mediocre day.

"The market for flash-based solid state disk drives which act as drop-in replacements for traditional hard drives used in mobile and portable devices is heating up: "

The Macintosh Pismo of a decade or so ago had drive bays. I had one internal drive and two removable drives in my Pismo. I could swap out for a battery or other device as available.

life span of solid state drives is about 145 Years when flashing 50 gig every day
So far better than any hard disk !!!

Norm, The issue isnt with the fact that you couldn't set up a RAID 0 across multiple drives, and achieve the same performance if not better for your buck. The difference is, that, with laptop owners, having multiple drives is almost out of the question, and even when it is possible, its not practical for laptops. The main benefit of this, is to remove another spinning part on your machine; if you remove that, then energy consumption and more importantly, heat generated, is reduced threefold. Battery life lasting 3x longer on laptops because of a hdd change, would appease most people. Now, i dont recommend it for the desktops, unless you just have plenty of money to throw away and want to set a couple of these up as Raid 0 anyways.

These things run about 64'ish tops ? Heck, my raptor does that now. What's so great about this thing ? I can RAID0 two 74Meg raptors and still have change in my pocket for what one of these flash drives costs.
