Could SSD (Solid State Drives) be the answer to data storage in the future? It certainly seems that way ... but I would wait unti lthey have at least 128Gb or more in capacity.

"Super Talent is the first to send us their latest MLC Solid State Drive that takes advantage of the new lower contract prices on memory. The MasterDrive MX Line is available in sizes ranging from 8 to 120GB. Our sample 60GB model is available at Newegg right now for less than 400 U.S. Dollars. Let’s have a look and see how these new low cost Solid State Drives perform against our trusty Western Digital Raptor 150GB and Samsung’s SATA II SLC drive.

... From the start I wasn’t too sure about comparing the new Super Talent MasterDrive MX 60GB SSD against the Samsung SATA-II 32GB SSD. The Super Talent MD MX 60GB costs a little less than the Samsung 32GB and has nearly double the capacity. I was sure we were going to see a total blowout in performance numbers.

As testing progressed and I started to compare how the drives performed, I was completely shocked to see the two drives battling back and forth for superior numbers. At this point it is difficult to put my finger on exactly where the MasterDrive MX really stands out. Is it an economy drive with great performance or a performance drive with budget pricing? - When looking back at the performance results, I have to say it is both."
