The ones I have looked into have been an actual ,lie. The SSD use more power. The manufacturers lied about the power consumption in order to sell their equipment.
My real life use of the things testify to that as well as many deaths of the SSD drives. They have a read/write limit. They are just glorified flash drives. Needs improvement. Look it up, such a shameful lie............ -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Roger Howard Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2010 2:24 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Netbook/Mini for the field?
