"If there is one area of computers which has lagged behind all the others it has to be the realm of storage devices. The very first hard drive was released way back in 1956 by IBM and since then not much has changed. [...] Heck, if CPU's advanced at the same glacial pace as the hard drive we would all be using 286's and hoping the rumors of 386's in 3 years time would be true."
Enter Solid State Disk Drive technology (SSD).
"In our opinion, comparing this drive against other 2.5" hard drives is counter intuitive as it literally crushes any true 2.5" drive out there (remember the new Velociraptor, while being 2.5" is too big to fit in a normal 2.5" laptop bay), so we are going to see how well this bad boy fares against some real competition in the form of a brand new Western Digital SE16 640GB hard drive, a new single platter Western Digital SE16 320GB, a Western Digital Velociraptor and even a pair of Seagate 7200.10 320's in RAID 0. I don't know about you but I recommend breaking out the pop corn and cola as its going be a bonny good fight!"
