[quote=SK in CV]I haven’t looked at them for more than a year. Can you do that? Are interfaces compatible? No issues with power supply? Fair to presume you’re talking about replacing in a desktop. Are form factors available for older laptops? (I’m guessing those would still be very pricy, if available?)
Prices on these things should be down a lot further by now.[/quote]
These things are 2.5″ and are for laptops with SATA. Though you can buy adapters/kits to have them mounted inside a desktop. Still too expensive for using as a permanent backup solution. I mainly need them for compiling operating systems quickly.. For folks that do a lot of pro-video, imaging, it also helps for working on media… I wouldn’t use it to permanently save data though.That’s what a Raid 5 disk or cloud storage is for.
Power-wise…Should consume less power…no spinning parts no motor. I’m using a quad core mac mini for all my development, so having two ssd in a stripe raid would be nice…
