@Dick Verant 'fuckin-A mate. (goodness, i thought it was just me alone - we're ok Dick, we're ok...)

Differently though, it's pretty good that a major manufacturer is taking SSDs seriously and would want to get a jump start in this direction (Toshiba makes the lot of notebook HDDs i believe). If I'm not mistaken I think it's Seagate that said they'll be looking at the market pretty soon as well, but i'm unsure of the status of WD et al. Can you imagine WD making SSDs that are equivalent to their Caviar "Green" brand of stuff. And this is separate and apart from the fact that they've gotten platter up to 2TBs now as well - I'm thinking more in the realm of: excellent speed, coupled with energy efficiency, durability over time and under harsher circumstances, price, etc. mmm, can't wait till they do.

Dick,
I think someone has put "the drashek" back on his meds. It is not you.

You can also use Philippine (no "s") as an adjective, as in Philippine Airlines.

I've been reading this site too long.. Drashek comments are starting to make sense to me.

SSD has single layer or multi layer, cost is $3 gb to $10/gb, which isn't Bad for memory. yet HDD can give gb of memory for $.20. Twenty measely Cents or least 15 Times Cost of HDD. When Performance Difference is Noted of Huge Porportions, yes its Worth More, Much More. Yet few years won't break SSD Down by factor of 40X, maybe half or 1/4 of today, Not Likely 1/40. However, That Reinforces COMPLETE System Changeover, when Capable Mains are out w/ multiOS thats can support Gb/s Data Flow ThroughOut.HDD Are Beastly Waste of slowness & Heat.

Gotta love your spelling. It's early yet!!

Anyway, it's "Philippines" and "Filipino".
