Do you think they won't? Do you have a way to prove there's no secret wifi circuitry in your SSDs? Remember, that even simple HDD controller is a multi-purpose CPU which can run any code – http://spritesmods.com/?art=hddhack&page=3 The controllers in SSD are multi-core ARM and MIPS chips, much more powerful; and for wifi connectivity all you need is 1cm long track on circutboard, which could be buried in some inside layer of board. -- Tomasz .. oo o. oo o. .o .o o. o. oo o. ..
