I haven’t put together a comparative cost per byte, nor have I talked about longevity just yet ๐Ÿ˜‰ It’s coming though. I’m planning on rolling out at least one more post on the Kingston SSDNow v100 drives.

interesting SSD performance review(s) … are you going to go further with this review and look into;

(i) how the data is stored, compared to magnetic storage? (ii) how data is wiped from the drive and is it securely wiped ? (iii) how long do the drives last compared to magnetic storage? (iiii) what is the comparative cost per byte? in terms of current storage and in the terms of the longevity of the different types of data storage?

performance is important but only i feel part of the total picture when making a purchase of these type of data storage devices as they are still relatively expensive when compared to magnetic storage. I can think of other questions, like power usage and recycling etc …

keep up the good work,

Glyn.
