SSD Solid State Drives

Just browsing through (window shopping)as you do came across these
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...ATA-II Solid State Hard Drive (OCZSSD2-2C30G)
Don't you just love progress,I remember reading about these not that long ago am impressed with the speed of just one with seek times of around 0.2-0.3ms and RAID supported too if you feel flush would be a nice little touch to finish this recent build and nearly affordable too then maybe upgrade to 8GB a ram turn off page file ..

I like everything about them
Lightning fast
low power= less heat
Silent
No moving parts to wear so should be reliable
Firmware upgradable for faster read/write times

Any drawbacks, Whats the trade off is there any??

Much more sensitive to abrupt power loss & magnetic fields.
Limited number of write cycles (~100,000).
Higher power consumption at idle/under low workload than an HDD.
Slower random-write speeds.

They're the main ones I can think of. Other than the obvious of being more expensive per Gb.
