Four SSDs Compared — OCZ, Super Talent, Mtron 206
MojoKid writes "Solid State Drive technology is set to turn the storage industry on its ear — eventually. It's just a matter of time. When you consider the intrinsic benefits of anything built on solid-state technology versus anything mechanical, it doesn't take a degree in physics to understand the obvious advantages. However, as with any new technology, things take time to mature and the current batch of SSDs on the market do have some caveats and shortcomings, especially when it comes to write performance. This full performance review and showcase of four different Solid State Disks, two MLC-based and two SLC-based, gives a good perspective of where SSDs currently are strong and where they're not. OCZ, Mtron and Super Talent drives are tested here but Intel's much anticipated offering hasn't arrived to market just yet."

There are some steam trains out there that are running and are over 100 years old... do we really think that a CPU or a RAM or a motherboard can live that long?
I agree completely. I, too, am dismayed at the lack of development in steam-powered computing.

No you didn't. You realized that awhile back but forgot.

Someone wake me up when there's a 1TB SSD for $250 that can do unlimited rewrite ops.
Ah, finally! We've waited for you to go away forever, and here you offer it to us on a silver platter!

It's an SSD, there is no platter!
