HDD Beware: It's game over...

See this link: CES 2009: New SanDisk SSD G3 is as fast as a 40,000rpm HDD.

In a nutshell:

  • Fast as a 40,000 rpm HDD
  • Over 100 years of typical user usage.
  • Available in capacities of 60, 120 and 240GB, the unit MSRPs are $149, $249 and $499, respectively.

After reading this, I'd sell my stock in traditional HDD manufacturers and buy up some SanDisk. For a drive that fast, why wouldn't you spend the little extra to have that kind of life time and that kind of speed?
