Someone told me that they're working on getting rid of platters for Hard drives and going to all flash instead. Is this feasible? It seems like you'd be able to achieve insane amounts of storage capacity.

Yeah... I think they talked about it in another thread. It'd be cool... then I wouldn't have to worry about my HDD being damaged when going to LAN Parties.

The review said the iRam wasn't great. It was faster, sure, but not $500 for 4 gigs of drive space, that doesn't even stay for long power outages and is pretty darn unstable.

The flash hard drives are a better deal and a better idea. Slower, but they're still crazy fast and STABLE.

Just put 5 flash drives in raid 0 in the new hp gaming machine.

Utter and expensive bliss.
