Here Come the SSDs - Are Solid State Disk Drives in Your Future?

DailyTech seems to think so. They are trickling on to the market, currently at a high cost, but as the technology evolves and economies of scale come into play, we might have some fast, cool (temperature-wise), and energy efficient storage in our own equipment.

As the tech is still in its early forms I don't know how long it will be before they can be used in digital signs, but their resistance to harsh environments make them a smart bet for the future. Currently they are being examined for use in military applications, toughened notebook computers, and maybe databases.
