Re: [Thinkpad] Solid State Disks SSD

Hello,

Here are some manufacturers of 1.8" and 2.5" solid-state disks I have found:

Adtron - http://www.adtron.com/
BitMicro - http://www.bitmicro.com/
M-Systems - http://www.m-systems.com/ (just acquired by SanDisk)
PQI - http://www.pqi.com.tw/
Pretec - http://www.pretec.com/
SimpleTech - http://www.simpletech.com/
Smart Modular Technologies - http://www.smartmodulartech.com/
Super Talent - http://www.supertalent.com/
Transcend - http://www.transcendusa.com/

And, of course, Samsung, SanDisk and TDK have all announced 32GB SSD's as well.

I did find one company which seems to specialize in selling SSDs, DV Nation,
who has pricing information on their web site. Right now, SSDs seem to go
for about $115.00USD to $315.00USD per GB, which makes them still fairly
pricey compared to their rotating media counterparts.
