SanDisk Corporation today unveiled a 32-gigabyte (GB), 1.8-inch solid state drive (SSD) as a replacement for the standard mechanical hard disk drive. Initially aimed at enterprise users as the first step toward mass consumer adoption, SanDisk SSD offers field-proven durability to keep mobile PCs working in the toughest of conditions and improves the overall user experience. It will also prove useful for Vista users who want to imcrease their PC performance.
Previously, large capacity flash-based drives had been used primarily by the military, aerospace and telecom industries, which demanded high performance and reliability under challenging environmental conditions. But now the declining cost of NAND flash memory has made SSD a viable and economically attractive alternative to existing technologies in a wider variety of applications, including mobile PCs aimed at enterprise and consumer users.
How much do they cost?
Correct me if I am wrong but at the price of $1000 I don’t think home-users will jump into buying it.
now are SSDs that have 128GB, i don´t know how much they cost.
