This drive is faster and lower power than a typical hard drive. Assuming that purchase price is not a factor, what does this do for building out supercomputer clusters on commodity hardware? Could this change the way companies like GOOG and AMZN build their computing utilities?
p.s. And what part of an 80GB drive that consumes way less power than the drive it replaces and is way faster than the drive it replaces is not hacker-related? Techno-fetishism is always hacker-related.
