Buffalo’s 100GB SSD With USB 2.0 Instead of SATAStumble This

Buffalo 100GB SSD

In a bizarre move, Buffalo have brought a monster of an SSD to market and done the unthinkable. They have made it USB 2.0 instead of SATA. I am all for external USB drives, but you would think they would have made this into an awesome little internal model. Perhaps if you cough up the $990 that this SSD costs you will want to show off your purchase. Other than that, I cannot think of any reason why someone would want a 100GB external SSD drive. I mean, there are perfectly good 1TB options that cost much, much less. 100GB is fine for an internal drive. It is enough to handle an operating system and a core software set. Let’s keep the external drives for storage and put the SSDs where they can actually do some good, inside the machines.

Ubergizmo

    I think the first two posters missed the point. I have two laptops which I use interchangeably for development and synchronizing them using a standard NAND USB flash drive is incredibly sluggish when writing 1000’s of small files. An external USB mechanical drive performs acceptably, and I would expect that an external SSD would perform better again. I intend to buy one, but $990.. hmmm…
