The Samsung 64GB SATA-2 FlashSSD (US$790) is a Solid State Drive (SSD) that features:
- 64GB capacity
- NAND Flash
- 100MB/sec Rated Sequential Read
- 80M/sec Rated Sequential Write
- 1W Operational Power requirement
"Samsung has clearly tried to optimize its new SSD drive for better streaming performance, both read and write. The results show up in the benchmarks. This is one of the most balanced performers we've seen in the still far-from-mature SSD market. ... The new Samsung FlashSSD catches up with the competition in both price and performance-but it's still not mainstream yet. " [ExtremeTech | Samsung 64GB SATA-2 SSD Drives Review]
Maybe when SSDs are already priced more "competitively" against the HDDs, it will gain more popularity among manufacturers, resulting to more users opting for an SSD. Until then, I still prefer hard drives, mainly due to their "more bytes per buck" prices.
