I must have missed it, but OCZ pushed out this crazy SSD hard drive. Forget SATA baby we have evolved.

I'd love to get my hands on one of those to play with, would be very interesting to see how well it "really" works.

Yeah, very interesting product. It even has the fan on the back side, which makes me wonder how much heat it puts out.

I'd never pay that kind of money for one, but I'd take one if they were passing them out.

Yeah I am sure its mad expensive, not something I would buy. However Plasma/LCD TV's when they came out were very expensive and nothing most of us would consider, but now with price drops its becoming a standard. I wonder if this will have a similar effect.

I think the fan is probably just to move dead air between this drive and whatever it is mounted next to (like a video card or CPU), as SSDs run much cooler than conventional HDs.
