my dream – laptop with no spinning disk

I hate the sound, heat and unreliability of traditional Hard Drives.

Carrying around a disk spinning at 10,000 rpm. Not a good idea.

Leo Laporte tried adding this flash drive to his MacBook.

Amazon – Corsair Storage Solutions – Solid state drive – 128 GB – internal – 2.5″ – SATA-300 US$330

It worked for Leo.

Installed a Corsair SSD into my unibody Macbook Pro. Boot and app launch times are lightning fast. Almost instant….

But others report problems.

There’s a 256 GB version for $760.

The price is far too high. But I hope Apple comes out with a reasonably priced flash drive model by the time I need to buy my next laptop.
