Transcend TS8GIFD18 PATA Industrial Solid State Disk

Quieter than a whisper, less power-hungry than a mechanical drive, able to leap off your tabletop while running and probably survive. Look in My Computer: it's . . . well, it looks like an ordinary hard drive, doesn't it?

Far from ordinary, though, this 8 GB solid state hard drive Transcends its electro-mechanical counterparts. Using the standard 2.5 inch form factor and the common IDE (ATA) interface, it looks like a meek mild-mannered hard drive, but having no moving parts, it is shock resistant to an unprecedented degree, and is not "virtually silent", it IS silent. Smaller power requirements mean less heat generated and longer battery life.

Whether you like using your laptop while jouncing across the veldt on safari or you just don't want your five year old to break the drive again, this may very well be the drive for you. We'll wait right here while you decide for yourself.
