    I wouldn't call that hacking speeds, I'd call it being smart on the part of OCZ.

    @chauncy that billups: Not to rain on your parade, but I don't think these drives will drop in price ten fold every year. In fact, does anything new drop in price that quickly?

    @SkipErnst: i was exaggerating for effect, but I would not be surprised in the slightest to see sub-$100 1 TB SSD's in two years.

    This would be nice for my 5th gen iPod if only it was a PATA drive. Toshiba does has a 240GB drive for it though..

    @joule79: You made me think, why the heck has battery technology changed so much for laptops and cars etc. but the 1.5 V AA battery has remained the same for all this time? It hasn't gotten too much more efficient and/or longer lasting. Since it's size remains the same, it should at least double in power every couple years. Wait, does Moore's law apply to batteries? #toshibamkxx33gsg

    @PurpleMonkeyDishwasher: : battery technology is improving every year. In terms of what chemicals produce the best reaction while being the least harmful to whatever they don't want to harm. The AA cannot really improve much more without changing its size/shape, which would defeat the purpose of being an AA battery. There are more powerful and smaller batteries, it's just hard to adapt their technology to still produce 1.5 V in that size. #toshibamkxx33gsg

    @psychiccheese: Still, battery tech is improving at a slower pace than the rest of technology. Battery tech is actually what is keeping us from advancing even more quickly. Though I did see that there were some recent breakthroughs, I can't wait till they're out. #toshibamkxx33gsg

    @Digo: another thing I forgot to mention is backwards compatibility. When someone designs a faster, more efficient CPU, if they can't make it fit on existing motherboards, they simply make a new motherboard for it. With batteries, even today, new gadgets run on AA batteries, because they're the most widespread and universal. Not because they're the best kind, but because everyone will have access to them. #toshibamkxx33gsg

    And already out of date. It's kind of undeniably sad when a company spends what was probably a tidy sum on a product that will be DOA. #toshibamkxx33gsg

    @vercordio: Perhaps Toshiba can find other markets aside from us, such as airlines, racing, etc. that still use this type of storage. Plus, it's cheaper then the flash alternative. Just a thought... #toshibamkxx33gsg

    6-18 PIN? That's kind of weak. My "secure" password uses 30+characters, including capitals, symbols, and numbers. I'd hate to downgrade. #harddrives

    Wait for the new Intel/Apple optical cabled drives next year. It will put USB 3/Firewire 800 to shame.

    Seagate vs WD. Which is better? Is it a matter of preference or is there an actual difference in stability?
