Ist es eigentlich mal aufgefallen, dass ich SSDs bevorzuge? Darf ich als unabhaengiger Blogger behaupten, dass ich Netbook und SSD Lobbyist (aiaiai, das boese Wort)bin, ohne von der Industrie dafuer bezahlt zu werden? Ich denke, wer hier nicht erst seit gestern mitliest, der/die weiss wie sehr ich SSDs promote, denn fuer mich haben Solid State Drive die Art und Weise meiner Netbook-Nutzung radikal veraendert. Ich bin produktiver, mein System hat eine laengere Akkulaufzeit und es ist komplett lautlos. Ja, die hohen Preise sprechen sicherlich gegen SSDs, aber auch das ist nur ein temporaeres Phaenomen.
