64 GB solid state hard drive? Drool.
This is the future. Samsung’s solid state hard drive has no moving parts (naturally), draws half a watt while operating and .1 watts while idle. As opposed to 1.5 watts operating in a hard drive. Also 4 times as fast as a hard drive, and with a reliability an order of magnitude higher. It’ll probably cost an arm and a leg, but that’ll come down. By next year it’ll just be a toe.
For more info, here’s Tom’s Hardware on the 32 GB model, previewed in September. And here’s the Slashdot article about the 64.
