The size of a fingernail and the weight of a paper clip - Intel makes some teeny tiny SSD chips.

But how does these things last long term, like with the number of read/write operations? I know a while ago there were limits on the number of times you could reliably write to and read from flash devices. Unless those have effectively evaporated, they're not going to be suitable for main storage purposes. For offline and near line storage though, they sound great.

PATA? so the interface is MASSIVELY bigger than the drive.

I thought that was called a jump drive.
