So what do you do if you lose it or it gets corrupted and you cannot retrieve the data???

 

That would save me money with all the externals i have around. Just slap that baby in the media server and BAM, ultra portable porn

 

I would hate storing that much info on a flash drive especially if it gets tossed or fails in some manner. Thats a huge risk

 

Flash is less susceptible to failure in comparison to traditional platter hard drives.

 

The only concern I have with SSD's is the ability to read/write tons of times. They all have read/write life cycles.

 

so it takes 5hrs to fill?

 

that shit is gonna cost so much. I may as well wait like 6-12months and watch the price drop before i get.

 

Sounds like a lot but it really isn't. It just means that the quality of what we have will no longer suck

80 BD-ROMS would cap that format out, think a quarter of the max being 500GB, thats 40 BD-25's and only 20 BD-50's

If camera CCD's get much better everyone might start storing raw sensor data from 3 separate CCD's, something that isn't quite possible now. A few short years ago they used iPods to hold the lord of the rings trilogy scenes for transport, because it's al that was really availible. That was already with mass amounts of compression

:edit:
300MB per second could empty a 2GB in less than 10 seconds

 

An article I read said that certain sectors are not chosen repeatedly so the wear doesn't constantly happen in that area. They have wear sensors which distribute data evenly so the read/write life cycles stays constant throughout the SSD.

 

DAWT. I don't understand the argument against it.

lots of moving parts vs none.

takes a lot of logic to figure out what is going to be more reliable.
