- editor's rolling comments:- on HP's Unfolding SSD strategy...
On
a
historical
note - HP was the 1st company to offer solid state storage as a standard
option in consumer notebooks - back in 1993 - for the HP Omnibook 300. But
don't expect HP today to be a leader in this market. I expect - it will choose
a safe route - and will follow rather than lead SSD trends.
To be more
accurate - that 1993 flash
memory based product wasn't really a true "SSD" as
we use the term today - because it didn't include
wear-leveling.
A
flavor of HP thinking about SSDs can be tasted by these features on its own
website.

are likely to get if you buy modestly priced notebooks).
