View Venu Anuganti's profileTranscend SSD 32GB Express Card
Yesterday I got the new Transcend SSD Express Card with 32GB that fits nicely with the Macbook Pro express card slot.
Even though the write speed is very low (8MB/s) for any standard express card; but read speed seems to be 18MB/s; so decided opt for this as it can serve as ready boost to my Windows operating system that is running under Vmware Fusion along with storing all my music files. I needed one, so that I can move all virtual machine files to this card; but due to the slow write speed; its hard at this time; and I may need to wait till we get the true SSD performance on Express card.
One funny thing is; Macbook seems to eject the card few hours once automatically; which seems to be odd to me and search does reveal that lot of other people also has the same issue. Not sure if its a bug from Macbook or Transcend.
Anyway, I will wait for the true SSD speed on express cards.

My friend and I were recently talking about the prevalence of technology in our day to day lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don’t mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside… I just hope that as the price of memory drops, the possibility of copying our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It’s one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.

It’s interesting to see just how permeant virtual memory has become in our lives. It seems like everywhere I turn, I see something with a card slot or USB jack, haha. I guess it makes sense though, considering how much more afforable memory has become lately…Gahhhhh… I shouldn’t be moaning and groaning. I can’t make it through a single day without using my R4 / R4i!(Submitted on FPost for R4i Nintendo DS.)
