ABOUT SSDS

A Solid State Disk (SSD) is non-volatile flash memory in a hard disk form-factor.  All standard sizes are available, 1.8", 2.5", and 3.5" with IDE or SATA connectors...And now, PCI-E and CFAST!  They have holes drilled where they would be on a regular disk, and power and data connectors in the right places.   Plug-and-play.  No drivers required.  Every part of your computer, from the BIOS to the operating system will recognize the SSD as a bootable drive.  But it just runs much faster.  If you connect an SSD to an USB port (internal or external), it can be used for Vista's ReadyBoost feature.  Because SSDs are flash memory, they are instantly accessible (<1ms access time).

A disk on module (DOM) is a solid state disk that plugs DIRECTLY into the interface slot (IDE, SATA, or USB).  Because they are non-volatile,  SSDs and DOMs keep their data when power is turned off from your system.  No onboard battery is required.  Capacities of 4GB to 64GB are available now, with 128GB coming next year.  Some brands such as MTRON are RAIDable on certain (not all) RAID controllers so that you can achieve unlimited capacity.

Works with Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Apple MacBook / Macbook Pro (OS X 10.5 Leopard required).
