@ Sean. I think Chris was talking about hard drive SSDs. I have bought several Intel x25 drives and they beat the pants off of a normal platter drive and require almost no energy and radiate very little heat. You can find 40 gig Intel SSDs at around $100, newegg is currently out of stock but you can get the 80 gig for $200. Cheap USB SSDs are often slow (you can find some fast 4 usb) but they are USB so that's a bottleneck in of its self.
