SSDs are OLD hat.. But usefull... (Score 1)

Being an engineer that actively maintains a supercomputer SSD, and having built one for home once upon a time, I think I can safely comment here. SSDs are dieing out due to high prices and the cheapness of disk and memory today.

In some fields such as supercomputing they will
be with us for a while. When 2 gigs of memory
costs upwards of $2million USD, SSDs are worthwhile.

For home use their used to be a few companies
that sold enclosures that were SCSI-1/2 compat. and took standard 30 pinn simms. The first I recall was on Mac, and used mac simms (ugh)
Later I built one myself using 30 pin parity
and built the parity into SCSI parity.

Wish I could find a home kit to reuse all
these 30 and 72 pinn simms, sipps and dimms...
It would make a NIFTY addition to an online
server for something like Tribes or quake.
AFS cache or NFS cachefs space...
