 | Solid state DDR drive goes into prototype A FIRM is readying a solid state disk drive aimed at the computer enthusiast and likely to be released this quarter. The DDR Drive X1 is a PCI Express based plug in card with 8GB of capacity, and bootable. According to sources close to the firm, the drive will have a custom and upgradeable high performance DMA Engine, an external power jack with a switching AC adaptor, and will go into a 512 unit initial production run. Although the firm gave no details of the pricing, a solid state drive at an affordable price is likely to be a popular item. We'll tell you more when there is more to tell you. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=28647 [attachment] http://www.ddrdrive.com/

 |  Meep Meep? OS drive from heaven? Raptor terminator? I'd rather have a SATA2 drive in a 3.5 box with 16 gigs tough, because you know M$ will reach new heights of OS size in the long run with Vista. |
