And yes, it was a laptop harddrive

That's impressive. I can't wait for SDDs to get cheaper. Laptop hard drives are mostly crap.“Inside every sane person there’s a madman struggling to get outâ€

I want them faster, bigger (capacity), smaller (size) and cheaper. So what's new?Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

The only "reviews" I've seen are heavily biased to make the MTrons look good. Their reading is spectacular, no doubt. But almost nothing shows their write performance. Everybody knows it's slower, but nobody's publishing just how much. The anecdotes I've heard are "I put one in my laptop. I like that it's doubled or tripled my battery life, but things run slower. Document editing takes longer (it apparently saves a lot). And if I'm doing something where I end up paging out, forget it. If I don't have to worry about battery life often, then I'm staying with regular HDs."
For an extra $1000 dollars, I can think of plenty to improve system performance.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment

How could an SSD double battery life? Even a Travelstar 7k200 draws only 1.1 W idling and 3.0 W seeking. That's about a tenth of the power draw of even small laptops, especially considering that every drive will be idle most all of the time. Also keep in mind that SATA interface chips in hard drives (both rotating platter and SSD) draw almost half a Watt, so the advantage of the SSDs can't be that great even in theory.Comment
