I'm hoping someone will make something similar for the Pandora.

Thats both a blessing and a curse. I'd sure be ripped if I couldn't use Sony memory with a Sony device. You know, unlike SD vs SDHC, they actually planned for the future with their specs.

You're comparing SDHC to MemStick PRO. I was comparing PRO to SD. I can see, where you're coming from, though.Squidge said:Hows that planned for the future? Seems worse to me.
I would test the power consumption, for all you know it could be worse than a magnetic hard drive.nim said:the cool thing with that gadget seems to be the high read/write speeds they get from using the 6 sdhc cards in RAID 0 (and large space).
that and the power consumption of the flash medium in comparison to that of a moving parts medium.
if you put the thing in a usb case for 2.5" sata drives it'd be really handy to use it as you would a harddrive for media files. since most portable gadget users probably are familiar with the drudgery of selecting what you want for the time being on your gadget what with the limited space and transfer rates...
so it would be cool to use such a thing with the pandora since a portable harddrive isn't all that feasible, portably, with its power consumption :/
moreover that thing is lots lighter and totally durable in comp. with a hdd :0 and it's probably cheaper than an equivalent ssd (192gb.... $1000?) and you've invested your mb/$ in something you can take apart into reusable sd cards and it's upgradable... so pretty cool indeed

Yes, it just seemed strange that you were comparing the latest version of one companies memory card with an earlier version of someone elses, which didn't make sense. It would be like comparing SDHC with the original Memory Stick.

At least that is the conclusion that some independent sites are reaching on commercial SSD's vs Laptop drives.
if you did that you'd have to software raid those to make that solution similar to this thing (which is hardware raided).jbr said:I think someone already made that:
Six port USB 2.0 hub and six cheap SD card readers. Or six flash drives if you want.
Unfortunately, that sounds really slow to me. I wonder if that thing can achieve decent speeds...
