   I was just not sure, if Carlo thinks, that SSD is not flash media but   
   something different - and that's the reason why it is called "solid   
   state disk" and not "flash media disk".   
      
   JFTR: In the past there were in fact SSDs based on RAM chips with   
   battery backup - for example the "memory cards" of some pocket computers   
   or programmable calculators.
