F Fractals 'R Us Nov 22, 2008 #12 Quote from gnome: Samsung has a new 256GB SSD... supposedly 220mbs read, 200mbs write, and 100mbs erase. Shouldn't be long before the prices come down to reasonable levels on these things.. More... I was reading about something called "dark silicon", it should allow for much bigger memory chips and much cheaper when it gets to the market. Probably at that time mechanical disk drives will be completely gone.
