The solid state hard drives have advantages and disadvantages. Read
times tend to be very quick because they are random access devices.
Write times are usually slower than hard drives because of the way flash

Hi
I was looking on eBay and stumbled across solid state laptop hard drives.

Just for fun I put a SSHD in my PowerBook 5200cs. I used a SanDisk
memory card in the lower pc slot, formatted it using Drive Setup, and
copied the OS 9.1 system onto it. It boots and runs perfectly, no
