I am a big fan of solid state disks. But not those fancy expensive SATA disks which are all the rage. I mean low end, dirt cheap SSDs. Compact flash and SD cards. If you have an old laptop, you can either buy a new hard drive for $80, or buy a CF card and CF-IDE adapter for $30. Sure, the hard drive has ten or twenty times the capacity. But flash is ten times as awesome. |
