JKK kicks off his ‘SSD-Week’ with a highly recommended 18-minute video introducing solid state disks (SSD), their advantages, the difference between MLC and SLC, explaining wear-levelling and the different connectors available. He gives some recommendations about read and write speeds to look for, talks about SSD life and gives some nice demos. He also teases us about some new device that he has lined up for later in the week.

The presentation is kind of ponderous.
I disagree with him regarding write speeds, as the minimum write speeds he gives is higher than needed if you follow all the tips and tricks to optimizing XP/Vista and your applications for SSD usage.
For those tricks, see OCS Forum on SSDs.
