Post your comments for Samsung to deliver 256GB solid-state drive in 2009 here

It's simply incredible to see such a quick improvement. Let's hope Apple drops the price on the AirBook SSD option soon.

So MLCs are cheaper, but SLCs have double the speed and at least 10x better reliability?! Wow, what a toss up.

Paragraph 5: "Pricing on SSDs are prohibitive. . ." should be "is prohibitive".
Back to school, my man. Subject-verb agreement. Sloppy, sloppy.

Agam Shah, Thank you for taking time from your studies to present important news in your article. While I weekly give speeches in a second language, I am barely capable with my writing. You are gifted. I hope Samsung can bring in that size SSD at a price we can afford. I would be happy to have one in my MacBook.

I've read that a Reiser file system works well with SSD. Obviously HFS+ in the Air also works well. Any word on file system performance?

Hey, now I can fully use the 128GB limit Apple put on macs made before 2002!

Am I missing something? Why do you assume that the writer isn't a native English speaker? This seems awfully bigoted - assuming the writer to be ESL (English as a second language) based on nothing but their name.

Weirdest thread ever. First the spam post from gamersparadise, then the post with the bewildering assumptions about the article author. Google found this:
"Agam Shah is a reporter for the IDG News Service based in San Francisco. His beat includes hardware, including PCs, chips, semiconductors, consumer electronics and peripherals...His work has appeared in New York Times, Washington Post, CNN...He serves as a Central Asia advisor to the South Asian Journalists Association."

Maybe rickcarl's post was in reference to my pointing out Mr. Shah's grammatical error. The point I make sometimes to others who make such errors is that grammatical correctness is important in presentations, as grammatical errors can cast a shadow over the author's credibility.

I could buy that for the "... taking times out of your studies ..." part - sure, makes sense; however, the rest of it just doesn't fit. Maybe the OP was trying for humour just didn't come through - God knows I've bombed many times, or made a joke that just didn't come out right. In the end, though, it really comes across as racist.

What happened to the moderators, I wonder? I reported the spam shortly after it was posted and it's still there; why don't they remove it?

Pricing in this context is plural so the usage is correct

[rickcarl]

I saw your post, Googled for info on the author, found out his multi-national credentials including being fluent in Hindi, noted his studies in journalism and posted a compliment to him. His accomplishments dwarf my modest achievements.
Your post about subject-verb agreement is valid. I'm just thankful that most people overlook my grammar errors.

[Wondercow]

Thanks for clearing that up.
