	Solid state disk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Solid state disk (SSD, also called solid state drive) is a data storage device that uses memory chips, such as SDRAMs, to store data, instead of the spinning platters found in conventional hard disk drives.
		The first, SSDs based on fast, volatile memory such as SDRAM, are categorized by extremely fast data access, less than 0.01 milliseconds (over 250 times faster than the fastest hard drives in 2004) and are used primarily to accelerate applications that would otherwise be held back by the latency of disk drives.
		To avoid confusion with the first type, these disks are generally referred to as "flash disks." Occasionally, the term is used to include keydrives, since they are technically solid-state and RAM-based.

	The Deliverator - Wannabee » Solid State Disk Availability?
		Solid state disks are really nothing new, but Samsung is a big enough player to bring enough of these to market to make them a viable alternative to magnetic hard disks in the consumer segment.
		Their devices seem offer the level of robustness I am looking for, incorporating wear leveling, dynamic bad block reassignment, etc. They warrant their solid state disks for 8 years of use (3 years longer than any hard disk manufacturer), so it seems they are willing to stand beside their specs.
		I would still likely take some measures to try and minimize writes to the disk, but it seems like their technology would be viable for my uses.

		Well, solid state storage has been part of my vision for a new type of computer for a long time, but is still way too expensive.

	Definition of Disk drive
		Disk storage is a group of data storage mechanisms for computers; data is transferred to planar surfaces or disks for temporary or permanent storage.
		The random-access, low-density storage of disks has historically been complemented by the sequential-access high density storage provided by magnetic tape.
		Vigorous innovation in disk storage technology, coupled with less vigorous innovation in tape storage, has reduced the density and cost per bit gap between disk and tape, reducing the importance of tape as a complement to disk.

		Used in battery-powered handheld devices as well as desktop computers and servers, solid state disks (SSDs) are faster than regular disks because there is zero latency (there is no read/write head to move).
		Most solid state disks use non-volatile flash memory; however, some use volatile DRAM or SRAM memory backed up by a disk drive or UPS system in case of power failure, all of which are part of the SSD system.
		Also called an "electronic disk," a solid state disk emulates the sector format of a disk drive and is generally a plug-for-plug replacement for it.
