Remember when having a 100GB hard drive meant you could install all your games and have bragging room left over? The days of 100GB hard drives could vanish soon with the release of a 2.5-inch solid state drive from A-Data. Clocking in at a 128GB capacity, this would indeed be the largest SSD ever. It also connects via SATA so you should be good as far as hooking it up and speed goes.
Cost and exact release date aren’t available but solid-state storage this big doesn’t come cheap!

This is really cool – I can now ditch my two HDs in my laptop and have more space with less battery power… perfect! I bet the price is out of reach for at least a year though… but for laptops this fantastic!

Yea as soon as its available to shoehorn in my macbook its going in! exciting times for storage coming up ahead…
This same drive was made by SimpleTech in January 2005 for US$50,000 each.
No bulk discounts nothing. 2 million write cycles.
Now 2 years later it better be cheaper.
But I still wonder how much it will be considering that the 64GB Thumb drive was going for US$2799 4-months ago
