Holy Smoke! PQI Announces 256GB Solid State Drive

Still, this is the future, ladies and gentlemen, and when PQI (or anyone, for that matter) shrinks a big one like this down to notebook size, we're looking at some serious, low power, high capacity laptops.... It's not on the site store page yet, and the press release section appears to be Internet Explore 6 only (thanks PQI) so we don't have a date for you, but I'd start saving up now.

TurboPQI's new SSD Turbo+ is a SATA drive with a whopping 256GB. Despite the Turbo name, it's slower than the SATA spec allows at 60MB/s (300 MB/s is the norm). Still, this is the future, ladies and gentlemen, and when PQI (or anyone, for that matter) shrinks a big one like this down to notebook size, we're looking at some serious, low power, high capacity laptops.

The price is likely to be in the "if you need to ask" realm. It's not on the site store page yet, and the press release section appears to be Internet Explore 6 only (thanks PQI) so we don't have a date for you, but I'd start saving up now.
