Hey guys, late last night I published an article on Blu-ray performance with NVIDIA's Ion platform. 

NVIDIA was quick to respond and they believe that the data isn't correct and want some time to re-create my environment and test the titles themselves. 

In the interest of being completely accurate I've pulled the article for now until I know for sure if the Blu-ray performance results are what I found. It's back to reviewing SSDs for me...

    That was my idea, I had like 4 years ago. But I would have used microSD cards, cause then you could put like 16+ of 'em in there.

    Only problem being that MicroSD cards are going to be, for the most part, slower than SD variants, especially when you're dealing with more larger capacity pieces. The extra slots would be nice for giving you more space, yeah, but the speed would be no better than a WD Black drive, though it would come in at several times the cost and still hold less data.

    I'd like to see how that adapter would perform with SanDisk Extreme III cards in it. Fairly expensive, yeah, but interesting to see the results, what with the RAID action it's got going on...

    You think your 2.5" drive is slow?
    Try a 1.8" like in my Dell D420... it reboots boots faster than it can hibernate/resume.

    You think your 1.8" drive is slow?
    Try a 5.25" like in my Commodore 64 Plus4... it boots an order of magnitude faster than it can... um, do pretty much anything. It sounds pretty sweet, though.

    You think your 5.25" floppy is slow?
    Try my punch cards when you accidentally drop them on the floor.
