SimpleTech announced a couple of 3.5-inch ginormous NAND storage drives and I think my heart skipped a beat. Do you really need a 3.5-inch 512GB or 256GB SSD drive? Probably not, but you could make a case for it. SimpleTech claims the Zeus-IOPS drives are 200 times faster at random transactional performance than a 15,000rpm enterprise HDD. Like Whoa! The 256GB drive is currently available and the 512GB drive will drop in Q3. Pricing is sure to be outrageously high, but damn if it wouldn’t be great for DVR/media center use.
