Sun is aiming for a leadership position in the Solid State Drives (SSD) arena, by announcing new product lines of flash drives and backing them with significant developments on the software side. The company claims it is the first major systems vendor to add an end-to-end Flash-based disk product line to its portfolio, giving customers 3x better performance at one-fifth the energy consumption of spinning disk drive offerings.

If you are in the market for a solid state drive (SSD), you might as well hurry up, because Google has started buying. Unnamed sources are reporting that the search engine giant has ordered from Intel the first batches of SSDs for use in the company's HQ.
