Solid State Hard Drives
 

Seems they might be the future of HDs...

Right now they don't hold a lot of capacity and the price is high.

I see some Laptops shipping with them in addition to a regular HD

BTW these things are faster than Western Digitals raptor and don't have to worry about spinning plates and over heating I assume...with the ability to hold more capacity than a raptor

The little net notebooks use them, I think.

Re: Solid State Hard Drives
 

Yes they do. I looked at 2 of them today at Best Buy. One was $300 and the other $400. Convenient I guess, if you don't have anything to do anything but get on the net. :D

think "no moving parts".

The speed of a hard drive is tied to have fast the magnetic plates can spin

Actually such a gizmo is all I personally need in a laptop, since I use it for my studies and writing. :) I am planning on getting one soon!

Flash drives are gaining ground! :)

I bought my LT for $350. It was about 400 after taxes etc etc. It does what I want in a laptop. The only thing I need to do is put more ram in it.

I can use it for anything besides serious gaming, hard core video and image editing and functioning as a media server with over 200 gigs of music and video...since the HD is only 120 gigs that is.
