solid state memory?

Though I like SSD's too, I'm under no illusion that it will never break. Everything breaks. Mine, admittedly a few years old, gets REALLY hot.

Backups are your lifeline.

One of the major issues with Laptop/Netbook/Notebook computers is what happens if you drop it.. Recall the IBM thinkpad commericials a couple of years back when they bragged on their sensor that could detect a fall and quickly park the drive? (It actually worked rather well, sadly something else broke, but the drive was 100%)

SSDs you need to drop a very heavy hammer on 'em to break em,,

The other thing is access speed. Some days the slower low power drives in portable comptuers make it seem like watching grass grow.

SSD's are greased lightening.

SSD is the future, without a doubt. Still a bit more expensive that standard hard drive memory, but getting less expensive all the time. If you can get enough SSD storage for what you are willing to spend, definitely go for it!

SSD drives are the best thing to ever happen to Windows. I replaced all the computers I support at work (nearly 100) with SSD drives, and the users have been thrilled.

I guess that's the end of 'bad sectors' and defrag.

Last week my daughters 1 year and 3 months old laptop suffered a HD failure......it was 2 weeks out of warranty........I replaced it with a SSD hard drive......more money but knowing I wont have to do that again is priceless......

Like a key drive or an SD card only way bigger.

If you are talking about SSD (solid state drive)..they are fantastic. Lighting fast, very stable, no spinning disk or moving parts. They are more expensive and come in different sizes like 128,256,etc..gigs.

I am certain that all computers will go to SSD's in the near future or sooner.

I have a 256 SSD as my C drive and a 2 TB D drive (normal) to store data.
Best set up I have ever had in a desk top.

Here is some good info.....LINK
