re: I don't mean to be impolite, but I've been hearing this for so long - almost 30 years. NAND has been around for 30 years? News to me. re: The surprising problem with flash memory and its variations isn't just that its too expensive - it's that it's TOOooo SLOOoowww. Not "surprising" to me. It's getting cheaper and faster. re: Check out the specs on flash vs. hard disks, it'll probably come as a surprise (it certainly is counter intuitive), but standard hard disks have far faster data rates than flash. A critical capability in a mass storage device. I've been watching the specs for years. Solid state will eventually beat moving parts, it's a matter of how and when, not if. Try to think a little beyond today's specs.
