I love my solid state 40 Gig drive on my Azus EeePC and Linux is
in read only memory. Seven to eight hours of battery life because of that
solid state drive. I run the whole newsletter on it when
I am on the road. With the help of a few 32 gig USB sticks.

It is not cheap however running around $700.

Paul:
I use Linux for everything I possibly can and explored solid state drives for
dedicated telecommunications application.
An "expert" told me that solid-state drives had a limited number of read-write
cycles before they failed, so I lost interest in them.
You have any info on that?
For twenty+ years I configured RAM-Disk software for same purpose, but that
was a little pricey (paid for by BIG clients with deeper pockets than mine)

I have have not heard that about solid state drives.
Same tech as USB sticks.
