That's because the random write is terrible. So you can boot faster but these could actually hurt performance in some scenarios. Not saying I don't want one, just that these still have room left to improve. Notice how they only quote the random read rate? That’s because the random write is terrible.

Each time a software shows minimums, double them right off the bat and then depending on the patches and "upgrades" you do... you end up with a monster 10x its original size. Solid state is a very welcome advancement... HD and laptops aren't the best of friends even with light travels under their belts... this solves so many problems (watts, broken parts, heat... ). I figure it will be at least 5 years before they completely replace conventional HD though... but that day will be sweat!

I have the 10,000 rpm drive, but this is gonna be sweet. The reality is 32GB is enough for windows, office, and really most corporate machines. Maybe add in a second regular spinning hard drive for archival purposes on a laptop to get a ton of storage. but 90% of your access would be on the solid state disk. I’m so excited!

I'm concerned with is the limitations to flash memory though. With the development of vertical writing on normal hard drives, you can store a lot more memory on each disk nowadays (or you will be able to when they apply the tech). So what about these solid state drives? What are the limitations to flash drives? Size? The benefits of switching to solid state memory are tremendous. You're looking at reduced maintainance costs (less HD problems, period), reduced heat output (no moving parts), reduce power consumption, reliability (you can't really fry solid state mem), etc. The only problem right now is that none exists yet and that no one really knows what the limits are to solid state memory. Of course I'm excited, and keep us updated! So awesome. solid state drives have come such a long way since the original flash memory. I’m concerned with is the limitations to flash memory though.
