New 2.5" PATA SSD from WD

Not that many Amiga users would want one; but WD just announced a new range of Solid State Disks which should work in A1200/A600

Yeah, SSD's are nice, but most use the MLC flash technology which is slower in performance then the SLC flash tech.

Also the pricing is still too high for me, the only thing that may make it worthwhile is the power draw of the device.
