Yes but SSD is more expensive than MicroSD :-S

Don't expect a MicroSD will close to 128GB of space, this will take some years. SSD has already reached this level. I think SSD are also slightly faster. SSD is new and MicroSD is not.

The resource costs of SSD are very high now and that's what you pay for!

I know that MicroSD is coming out with 32gb and somebody was able to get 128gb or some crazy amount like that onto one. But yeah, I guess the SSD and MicroSD use two different forms of flash memory, as in, different ways of reaching the same system, if that makes sense, is that right?

It are two totally different forms of flash memory. MicroSD will never replace a hard disk, SSD wil.

fair enough, I'll have to do some research on it

The SSDs look more solid.. oh whoops, solid state drive, maybe that has something to do with it? lol.. geesh, come on, it's 3am

SSD = Solid state drive. It's not 3am for me!

Nice. I have got to say that 7200 RPM in a notebook is rare to my knowledge... That must be a nice piece right there.

Still, solid state exists, and is comparable with 7200RPM, except the size is way smaller...

I wonder what would be better or more cost effective...

Anyone care to give a say in that dirrection?

Anyone at all?
