ok I only rememberd that SSD is expensive
Have you an PCI Socket for the CF (If you have an desktop PC)? May I upgrade my pc with one, then only for Windows, the rest on my 300Gb and 1TB SATA2 Drives. And I will need an bigger drive, Vista 64bit should need more place... |

SSDs are quite expensive and currently are available in small disk sizes. I think about $800 of the price of the Mac Air is the SSD price.
Recently I've heard of a story about faulty SSD drives - almost frying themselves as they got to high. Seagate may take SSD manufacturers to court as they (and I think Western Digital) have some type of patents on something related to disk manufacturing. _________________  |
