Interesting... doesn't flash-based memory "wear out" after several tens of thousands of writes? I know that the small versions of Firefox and Mozilla designed for USB drives incorporate features that don't write to the "disk" to avoid these problems. Or was that merely a problem with older flah-memory cards?

Its more like a few hundred thousand write cycles. However, reading from the flash has a much higher mtbf. I think this flash cache was suppossed to be used to cache things like the OS that doesn't need to be updated relatively often.

Mmm. I like this.

it weights less than half as much. The SSD can write up to 57MB per second and write up to 32MB per second

That part hurt to read

Very cool though

The typo or how slow that is?
