Solid-State Storage PCs

Finally, the quickly developing flash memory technology has caught of with hard drives. The mobile world will be Solid-State Storage's first target. In another five years the technology will be just as dominant as Hard-Disk Drives are today. With less moving parts and lower power consumption than previous technologies, solid-state also brings in another obvious advantage. Read and write times will be tripled at best. The only draw-back to this obvious advantage is the price-tag. The newly released UMPC from Samsung is now a little over double its original price with a 32 GB solid-sate storage disk.

How soon will that doubled price-tag become equal with the other storage solution?

Elaborate on the thought of not very long. Would you suppose in two or three years?

I share this view with you. It's true that Capitalism allows for such exploitation, but what would the world be today without it?
