Samsung has posted this impressive video that shows the differences (read: advantages) of a laptop with a Solid State Drive (SSD) opposed over a hard drisk drive (HDD). The video explains what SSDs are, key benefits and a few performance tests that compare the two.

And what about maximum capacity? Or price per gig? Oops forgot that one didn't you.

Hi Wmcgritt,
Two valid shortcomings, which we've written about before on Sympatico MSN: http://tinyurl.com/5phk3d
I guess Samsung didn't want to address storage limits and price per gig!

It's called a performance test for a reason… not a price comparison

In the last couple of months, there have been large milestones in the SSD market, improving overall storage limit and driving down price/gig. To help clarify the current argument surrounding SSDs, SanDisk has created a website called the SSD Academy that offers consumers and professionals a lot of information on the SSD market as well as general flash usage. http://www.sandisk.com/ssd.
Also, an educational video on SSD vs. HDD that will address some of your questions can be found at http://driveyourlaptop.com/video/ssd-vs-hdd.
