Not sure the name 'Spark' is the best thing to have on something that you defintely don't want sparks around,..


Sorry to perturb you even more but the 2TB version is called "Ignite".

My Mushkin 1TB SSD's were $200, so this is not ground breaking at all. Speeds are slightly better.

Now this is something that will give all the older notebooks with HDDs new life for a super low price.


Right on.
As far as I'm concerned the faster laptop HDDs die the better.

Budget laptops have some seriously bad hard drives. Had an Asus K53SM (2670QM, 8GB RAM) and I was paralyzed the moment I saw what a difference an SSD made. That 5400RPM hard drive was more than slow.
Granted, even a budget SSD like a Kingston V300 would make a whole world of difference just because of the very low access times.
