Mtron's 128GB SSD drive isn't the highest capacity SSD around, but a quick google shows it to be the largest 1.8-incher. That's the same size drive in many MP3 players and Apple's new Macbook Air. They're expecting nice 120MB/second reads and 100MB/second writes. Production will start in April, but as with all SSDs of this size, don't expect them to be affordable for the little people for awhile.

How reliable is the memory that is being used though? How many read/write cycles till it pushes daisies?
