Darbes, 2.5-inch ultra ATA 90GB solid state drive that can transfer data at 100Mb/sec The transfer rate is nothing to write home about, and must be limited by ATA 100 interface. Come to think of it, all of the disk interfaces (SATA, SCSI including) stink for something like this. Flash based solid state drive can theoretically be arranged at any width desirable, and therefore can fill any bandwidth needed. Something like this should work better as a PCI or PCI-X card for desktops. For laptops, there are not too many choices. Anyway, keeping in mind the limited erase cycles, could this work for standard Windows computer? I guess swapping can be either disabled or redirected to a RAM disk. What is another source of frequent reading / writing to disk (non-application specific)? OTOH, access time should improve significantly, even in ATA disk format / interface. Joe
