SandForce SSD (Solid State Drive) harddrives coming soon

  I have a SSD (Solid State Drive) in my Alienware gaming laptop and it loads way faster than the old school hard drives.  SSD's have no moving parts so no spin up time for any platters.  Instead of platters and a read/write magnetic heads, SSD's have memory chips.  Great to see more and more companies make them and hopefully that will also have an impact on lowering the price for consumers as it slowly becomes a standard.

  Excerpt from site: "The other advantage SuperSSpeed’s new product range brings is the significantly faster write speeds, along with the faster access time. Benchmarks show a 91% score improvement in the popular AS SSD benchmark, when comparing the speed of a normal Kingston HyperX 120 GB SSD drive using MLC memory to the 120 GB SSD from SuperSSpeed that uses SLC NAND flash. The write speed is greatly increased from a normal 162 MB/s to a super-fast 475 MB/s. This is a 293% improvement."
