SATA Solid state discs from Sandisk

[samsc]

There are some 2.5" disks available out there, but these are normally insanely expensive.

from a san disk press release i believe these do not fall into the insanely expensive category- these guys are trying to move into laptops...

The solid-state flash memory drive will be compatible with most mainstream notebook designs, according to the company, and comes just months after SanDisk announced a similar <http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2079535,00.asp>1.8-inch SSD for ultra-portable notebooks. That drive—also a 32-gigabyte version—was $600 more than a comparable 32-gigabyte disk drive would cost.

The new 2.5-inch SSD is now available, however, for $350 (for large volume buyers) as a drop-in replacement for hard disk drives, SanDisk said.
