Hey, that's only $40/GB!...

Oh, I don't think I'm interested at all now.

I might get one, I know the flash will be like 20MB/s realistically, but I think the access times would be awsome, I wanna see real benchies! Not HDTach and crap.

I have a 64MB model just like that (although its obviously much older). Not sure how much faster it would be over a standard IDE drive, but I'd be curious to see some benchies. Way too expensive to take a chance on in my opinion though

MrBond

Surely a step up, but I'd wait for the price to come down.

RWB

If this were around 40GB it would be more affordable at $319.. so I am holding off. Plus I have less money than I thought :P

This is actually not bad at all for a drive without latency (access time). Couple this with 2gb of ram and it's amazingly fast. Harddrives is todays computers huge bottleneck.

I would really like to see RAM and HDD's merge...

I mean like having 1TB of system memory, non volitile, system memory and storage in one amazingly fast method. Like FD or FB DIMM's I think. You want more... add more

So I was looking around and found this....

On other pages they have CF to IDE interfaces that allow the CF cards to become IDE drives... maybe only costing like $150 or so. hrmm
