128GB Solid State HDD due in March 08
-
Cool the future is near where mechanical devices will be gone from computers and other digital gadget. If they could come up with batteries with real duration, my like would be happier. from the article : The drives' operating life - as measured by the mean time to failure (MTTF) - is one million hours, it added. What is the MTFF for normal HD these days ?

My 150GB Raptor is quoted at 1.2 Million hours, although I expect it to die the very nano second the warranty runs out :)
"On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't. "I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it." -Tina Farrell, a 23 year old thicky from Levenshulme, Manchester.

Desktop SATA drives have a the same one million hours although I consider them less reliable than when they had 1/2 that.

According to El Reg, at any rate: http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2007/12/10/toshiba_roadmaps_ssds/[^] I'm going to start saving now :)

Keep in mind it's meant for enterprise customers, not the average user. :) The ioDrive™ is designed to deliver 87,500 IOPS (input/output per second @ 8K packets) per PCIe x4 card, while achieving sustained data rates of 700MB/sec (Read) and 600MB/sec (Write) — making the ioDrive™ almost a thousand times faster than any existing disk drive. Fusion-io is targeting a retail price of approximately $30 per Gigabyte for the ioDrive™. http://www.fusionio.com/[^]

Maybe we should all club together and get CP one - it should boost performance no end! :)

Good thing the warranty is 5 years! :) I really like my 150GB Raptor. I can't wait to replace my 2nd HD with another one. Mark

Well according to the bar near the top of the page, there are "millions of members" If every member threw in $1 ($1 x 1,000,000), imagin the hardware CP could get.... no more speed issues :-D But as I highly doubt that it will ever happen, I guess we will just have to put up with the slow loading speeds :(
