Thanks to our friends at OCZ Technology, we were able to get our hands on one of their first solid state hard drives. Although this one is only 64 gigabytes in size and retails for more than a grand, it was a great opportunity to see what the future of hard drives has in store for us hardware enthusiasts. Here's a clip from the review:
"Once upon a time, there was a PC vendor that wanted to bring a notebook to the market that featured a hard disk RAID array based upon Solid State Drives (SSD). One thing led to another and the end result was a downward spiral of vapor-ware and unfilled orders. While the HD market continues to recover from that quagmire, the idea of marketing SSD drives is still alive and well. Just about every memory based hardware manufacturer at the 2008 Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show had an SSD drive on display."
