A lot of people don’t know how much hard drives can slow you down. Check this great video SSD vs HDD.

This is why I ordered a SSD drive for my wife.

    You’ve made me change my mind about the value of SS drives. Especially considering that in the Air, the alternative is a slow, iPod drive, it really looks like it’s worth it.

    Lol at the vibration test, btw

    Ya, the vibration test is pretty lame lol.

    I was wondering about the difference with the hard drives. Thanks for the video. I’m a bit disappointed with the hard drive size though. But I guess that is given at its size. That is what external hard drives are for huh?

    if you go any bigger the prices go crazy.

    Check this out (scroll to the bottom)

    a no name brand 64gb $1,699.00
    128 GB is $3,999.00

    The top macbook air is actually a steal..

    SSD is pretty new technology and expensive. It will go down over time.

    Of course - though given the price I wish there was a 32gB option. I would be fine with that much in a laptop

    So, do traditional spinning harddrives get all goofy in zero gravity? And if so then I assume a solid state would not have this problem. Would anyone like to send me into orbit with two Airs to test this out? Lemme know.

    This may be a silly question: Is there any sound or is there an issue on my end?
