Satisfy my curiosity on SSD Solid State Drives

Post by Chris Corbyn »

Hey,

Anybody had any first hand experience with Solid State IDE hard drives?

Just curious on a few things....
1. Given the steep price of a drive, is it actually worth the money?
2. Are they as stable as standard IDE drives?
3. Which manufacturers are cheaper and where can they be purchased?
4. What's the biggest capacity anyone's seen? (8GB seems to be the max I see)

I've found very little on actually buying one of the things searching Google.

If anybody has any decent links or advice on this hardware please advise.

Cheers guys! :D
