Previous poster: did you even bother to read the article ? It's not a drive, it's solid state.

Besides, that auction thingy is not exactly small. Well, only in capacity compared to this new Buffalo device.
So your point is....?

Yes, I would rather buy a harddrive that fits in my shirt pocket, has the same functions (powered by USB) and also has 2.5 times the capacity, than buy new technology that is still lacking in capacity at the moment. You can spend loads of money on 100 gigs of storage if you like.

I can see why people pay the extra for an SSD when it's internal, but for now, a 64GB Flash drive makes much better sense.

Who needs such high performance from an external disk? Also USB2 is very restrictive on this front, so really it's just an attempt to pay for some further research by getting rich bling merchants excited over nothing

Good luck to them

It's also not a very good idea because flash memory wears out. If you read and write enough files to flash, especially if you are using an operating system on it, the flash memory will degrade and eventually cause lots of errors. I wouldn't spend that much money on something that will eventually wear out. Hard drives don't, and although they break from impacts, are a better choice because of their obvious price advantages.

I am absolutely for such products, this disc is a marvel, some people are still reluctant to buy it, but when the price is reasonable it will sell like hot cakes.
