What about reading several large media files concurrently?
That will be translated into a few sequential reads by the os & NCQ. No non-raid device gets any kind of speed boosts from concurrent reads -- ssd's just don't suffer as much from them.

The first generation of the Intel SSD's contained halogens so Apple couldn't use them. The new ones are halogen-free, so it might be they show up in future revisions of the MBP.
That's retarded. Stop kissing up to Greenpeace and give me my SSD, Apple. :(
They need to let the market decide.

If you only access large media files (due to the very nature of media files, you want to read them sequentially from the beginning to the end) and your hard drive is not too fragmented, it is a reasonable assumption that you will mostly access the hard drive sequentially. However, if you need a large hard drive for a database and not as a media storage, obviously random access is just as important as sequential acces…
What about reading several large media files concurrently?
Personally, I can only watch one TV show at a time...
For example, intense BitTorrent downloading (and uploading) on a RAM disk frees my hard disk from the constant reads and writes so I can have high speed downloads (and verification of d/led data) and still do disk intensive activities in other applications.
I can't wait for the day where my mass storage can have that kind of speed! (and it looks like it's closer than ever now)
Jeff Atwood is wrong on the internet... again! Tell me you're surprised. There are too many mistakes in the post to bother correcting. Just read the anandtech.com article if you want accurate info. For accurate price info you should know that the second generation 160 GB X-25Ms originally listed for $450 but shot up in price due to excessive demand. It's only in stock at stores that price gouge and MIA everywhere els…
The term "price gouge" is counterproductively pejorative. Being able to get it for some price is an improvement over not being able to get it at all, which, as you point out, is the alternative.
Is this the market-economics version of political correctness?

There are too many mistakes in the post to bother correcting. For those of us not as current on SSDs as you are, actually correcting his mistakes might be useful.
