Micron unveils RealSSD Solid State Drives in 32GB, 64GB Flavours
Posted by Adrian Covert at 6:06 AM on November 29, 2007
Micron announced today that they will be releasing the RealSSD line of solid state drives, including a 64GB drive. While the entire line ranges from 1GB to 64GB, the 32 and 64 GB models are geared toward notebook and desktop use. The drives feature a SATA II interface and draw a mere 2 watts of power.
The 32GB drive will come in 1.8" and 2.5" sizes, while the 64GB will only ship in a 2.5" size. Micron, who also owns memory makers Lexar and Crucial, will release an SSD USB enclosement under the Crucial brand, making SSD expansion easier for users. Micron also expressed an interest in making a 128GB SSD, but have no definite plans as of yet. Pricing is still undetermined on the 32GB and 64GB models, but Micron expects the products to ship in Q1 2008. [Micron]

Still not enough "space" yet. Final Cut Studio takes up nearly 50GBs on it's own on my MacBook Pro! When the capacity gets to 128 or better yet 256 - I'll be all over it!

i wonder...for performance or battery life which would be a better setup...
ssd for os/apps, hdd for data, or the other way. storage wise, fairly obvious choice to use the hdd for price (aside from howdytex, whom i suspect is including all his samples in that number)
