When &#36;100 buys a pocket-sized gadget that can store decades' worth of appointments and addresses -- and &#36;200 gets you one that also serves as a digital photo album and MP3 player -- why would anybody want to spend &#36;400 or &#36;500 on a new Palm or Pocket PC handheld?

Despite a few rough edges, the SimpleDrive represents a good overall value. It packs a large amount of storage into a petite, classy-looking package, though the USB-only design limits its performance.

I saw an ad in yesterday's NY Times that offered the complete New Yorker magazine archive, including all the cartoons and ads, going back to 1920-something for a bit more than the hard disk would cost. The ad was from J&R, the company that makes the product is Pexagon. $149. Sounds like there might be DRM. I asked for something like this from the music business. A hundred gigs of popular music for $500, all pre-installed on the disk without DRM.  Someone at the New Yorker had this idea too? It's a good one. Bulk content for collector types. Another source of revenue. I want to run my own personal radio station, so having every song of a certain genre or from a certain period makes the diff.

Based on Single Level Cell (SLC) flash technology, the Mtron 128GB drive will only make it to market as an OEM product, where it might turn up in the Spring as an expensive option on laptops. The performance of 120MB/sec on writes, and 100MB/sec on reads is way above levels found on older SSD drive designs.

Of all the comments on the hard drive, and there have been hundreds, this one explains it best. I'm sorry to hear about your experience at the Apple Store. I was a "genius" for a year and can assure you that the policy regarding HDs was frustrating to us as well. In warranty it wasn't so hard to justify, but out of warranty customers often had a problem with it. My recommendation to them (and to you) is the same. AASPs often do not have the same contractual obligations with HD manufacturers that Apple does, so they may very well let you keep it. If you still wanted to have it done through an Apple store, take a magnet to it before you hand it over. The techs have better things to do than trawl through your personal data (there are exceptions, of course), but if it sets your mind at ease- go for it. Honestly, I would do this in your position because I have read of people getting reman drives with other people's data still on them. But that would have nothing to do with Apple and everything to do with the companies contracted to remanufacture the HDs.Not much more to say after that. I will probably write a summary tomorrow.

Decide to do something about portable data storage now rather than later. Let your auditors and risk management staff know that 4GB dip sticks are here, and 1.6TB gel disks are around the corner.
