Wait Sandisk blames Vista to be not optimized for SSD
but uhmm Vista is longer then SSD are on the market
and why bashing Vista is Windows XP optimized for SSD???

If so then i ask myself since when and how come Vista is not optimized

But uhmm sorry but where can i buy SSD disk that has $0.20 for each GB

Yea, the life time isn't an issue. I've seen some calculations that showed how long the disks would last, if they're being constantly written to, and while I forget the number, it was a very very long time.

Vista isn't to blame. SanDisk and other flash-based memory companies are for making the disks so expensive.

@aseriesoftubes: Your old, like floppy disc old.

@Norcross:

load leveling has been around in SSD's since the beginning.

It's not an issue at, except to the unwashed masses who believe anything they hear.

The price/gb is what is stopping SSD implementation.

I have one in my laptop.

I want them in a storage device (and no, not a fucking lame ass one like a drobo) for my work network.

if i could get an SSD based NAS or SAN that had real capacity and was slightly more expensive than SAS drives, I'd be ordering it today.

as it is, i'll probably end up with something that uses SAS drives to get the speeds i want

Maybe it's the fact that the failure rate is so high, mainly due to the finite read-write cycle each disk has? The main issue, from what I've read, is that any OS that writes log files can prematurely kill the disc. So if the "downfall" is that the logfiles are written to the disc, then give me my downfalls.

@Hectorvex: Ok, you've got me beat. My first computer actually had a hard disk, and a massive 10 megabyte disk at that!

I blame Sandisk for not being Vista compatible.

I blame Vista for not being compatible with my commodore.

@Shub-Niggurath: Patterns?

Guilloche[a_, b_, c_, d_, e_, f_] := PolarPlot[Evaluate[Flatten[{ Table[(c + Sin[a x + d]) + ((b + Sin[b x + e]) - (c + Sin[a x + d]))

I blame aseriesoftubes and hectorvex for not catching on to patterns!

@Hectorvex: What's a floppy disk?

Joseph

@aseriesoftubes: I remember storing everything on floppy disks. And not those fancy 3' 1/2" ones, but the 5 1/4" inch floppy ones. Now, SSD drives, flash technology... 1 TB of storage space. Do you realize how much porn that is? Kids today are lucky. I had to view porn on frame at a time, saved in two parts on separate disks. I had to switch disks to play a 10 second black and white clip.

Hectorvex

The slow deployment of SSDs probably doesn't have anything to do with the fact that they're super-expensive unless you can get by with 32GB or less.

At the same time, I remember when 32 gigs was more storage than I'd ever want or need. Hell, I remember that being the case with 512MB drives. Ah, I'm getting old.

I blame vista for michael jackson's child molestation case

I blame Vista for spreading AIDS.

I blame Vista for giving the hooker Herpes. I blame San Disk for popping the condom.

I blame Vista for my 2nd and 4rth marriage....

Mr.SithNinja

oh yea, its on now Vista! I blame you for Rosie O'Donnell and Tom Arnold and Carrot Top!

venomous_duck41

how about Sandisk Blaming the cost of SSD

Costermonger

Blaming Canada is so cliche.
Everyone blame Vista now!
I blame Vista for my sweaty balls.
Humidity, you're off the hook.

@aseriesoftubes:
Oh yeah? My first computer had a #@$%& cassette drive! And the first computer I used was a teletype connected by phone lines to a "mainframe" at a nearby college. That used paper tape with holes punched in it for data storage!

Rincewind

I blame sandisk for, something clever and witty. Yeah, I went there.

RobotVampire

@aec007: Haha yeah, but Vistas disk contention would destroy any SSD.

Joseph

Yay! Let's blame all of the world's problems on Vista guys! Israel-Palestine conflict? Vista! Poverty? Vista! George Bush? Vista! Economic Depression? Vista! Global Warming? Vista!

Duckspwn

I blame myself really.

I do that.

strider_mt2k

Say, what ever happened to "hybrid" hard drives?
Wasn't Vista supposed to take advantage of hybrid drives?
Hmmm.....

pete

This is a bunch of BS. Cost is the major factor and because of the cost this is a server level solution. So is Windows 2003 to blame? Idiots!
