Kids, especially you HVX200 sporting P2-lovers out there, our day is on the horizon: Solid state hard drives are on their way! SanDisk is going to show off their first 32GB flash-based hard drive at CES, and says the drive could be released as early as the first half of this year! The transfer between a P2 card and a flash-based drive would be so minimal, it'd feel virtually instantaneous.

For those of you not up on your geek knowledge, typically the slowest part of a computer has been the spinning discs of magnetic hard drives. Video folks have gotten around the annoyance of those pokey hard drives by chaining them together in RAID arrays. Now, though, the problem could be eliminated almost entirely, with these flash-based drives.

Keep in mind, the drive is supposed to be a laptop drive, so we're not sure exactly how that'll play in a video world, but regardless, we're one step closer to greatness.
