Nice Replies BigGuns. Considering that this product release helps place SSDs in more of the mainstream, here's another consideration: When do Microsoft, Apple, the crowds making versions of Unix and other operating systems start to truly exploit the SSD ability to maintain state? Rather than a lengthy startup sequence, developers need to consider pushing all of the cleaning and housekeeping to shutdown (it's already happening to a certain extent). Consider the concept of just putting any system to 'sleep' and doing shutdown functions only on occasion to obtain the elusive 'instant on' ability.
