... I don't usually like your blogs, but you've stumbled into a real gem here.
I personally use a laptop with a traditional drive, and store my user data on a 16G SD card. Best of both worlds apparently: my data is on a solid state device, and according to you I'm saving battery life too.
I wonder if this opens vendors up to lawsuits? Wattage is pretty clear number. It would be like selling someone a 7200 RPM drive when in fact it was only 6800 RPM.
I know 6800 doesn't exist in real life, but here is an interesting question: Has any independent party ever measured the rotation of drives?
If they are cheating on wattage for flash drives, are they cheating on RPM for hard drives? - Posted by: croberts Posted on: 07/02/08 (Edited: 07/02/2008 @ 08:31) You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use

The tests are very flawed

Here's a breakdown of why the analysis is flawed
