Had to say a quick thanks to Greg and the others who have posted
detailed test results on SSDs here.
For those of us watching for the inflection point where we can begin the
transition from mechanical to solid state storage, this data and
experience is invaluable. Thanks for sharing it.
A short story while I'm posting : my Dad taught electronics engineering
and would often visit the local factories with groups of students. I
remember in particular after a visit to a disk drive manufacturer
(Burroughs), in 1977 he came home telling me that he'd asked the plant
manager what their plan was once solid state storage made their products
obsolete. The manager looked at him like he was form another planet...
So I've been waiting patiently 34 years for this hopefully
soon-to-arrive moment ;)
