With the prices of HDDs having increased due to the flooding in Thailand, maybe it's time to seriously consider a solid state drive. Today we have a review covering the Mushkin Chronos 60GB - http://www.overclock...ushkin_chronos/

Looks like a drive filled with slow flash to hit a low price point...but without the low price point? Granted, AS SSD and CDM use incompressible data to highlight the actual flash performance, but those read and write speeds are pretty abysmally low for a brand new 6 Gbps Sandforce 2281 drive. With flash that slow I would have expected a much lower price tag.
