Sandisk releases 32GB solid state drive
Still a tad expensive
Thursday, 4 January 2007, 11:50
A SOLID STATE drive using flash memory is being shown off at a storage show in the US next week.
Sandisk said the 32GB drive, which isn't yet shipping in retail, will cost $600.
The firm rates it as yielding a mean time between failure (MTBF) of two million hours, has a sustained read rate of 62MB per sec and a random read rate of 7,000 inputs/outputs per second.
It claims it only consumes .4 watts compared to
one watt for a regular HDD. The 1.8-inch drive is being made available to hardware OEMs now. µ

I live in the UK and wonder where you are meant to buy these. I can only find one retailer flogging them for £250 here.
Wonder if they will become mainstream soon and lower priced?
