BiTMICRO Introduces 832GB SATAII SSD for CES 2008
BiTMICRO, developer of flash disk, solid state disk (SSD), network storage and file cache solid state drive solutions is about to make strong appearance at CES this year. According to a press release, the company is introducing a new, 2.5-inch solid-state drive with the whoppping 832GB of space. The SATA II drive comes as a new addition to the company's E-Disk Altima line, and utilizes a technology the company calls multi-level cell (or MLC) memory, which apparently doubles the number of bits stored per memory cell when compared with single-level cell (SLC) NAND. The drives are expected to ship Q3 2008 in capacities ranging from 32GB to 832GB.

Kinda puts a lid on the jar for those that doubted that this capacity could ever be reached this soon.
Although its highly likely that the prices are going to be through the roof for this size of a flash drive.
my guess is that it would cost more than the average selling price of an average American home.
Or, perhaps the cost of SSD's will finally start to drop to more reasonable levels.
More random numbers to come.
Once SSD drives are more affordable, they will be selling like hotcakes!! I know that I want to try a few out in my desktop systems and laptop.
wtf8269, I'm coming for those arms and legs
