This looks to be real and a boon to all of us. Will there be compatibility issues?

32GB solid state 1.8" HDs.... Yummy.

Llorean:
Since they're designed to be interchangeable with classic HDs, probably not.

michael.conner:
I hope the announce pricing on the 32GB ones.  The 16GB 1.8" ones are supposed to retail for US $169... perhaps $250-300 for the 32GB ones?  Having a 32GB flash-based Rockboxed H1x0 (an H132, natch) would be an amazing piece o' kit...

Llorean:
I agree. I'm holding out for the 64, I don't care what the price ends up being. While 32gb is conceivably fillable for me, 64 really isn't. At that point, I may even consider the USB charge mod.

bk:
They are indeed nice, but given the great performance numbers and high price it'd be a bit of a waste right now to put them in a DAP. I'd probably keep it for a subnotebook.

Once the production volume goes up I think portable HDDs will become a thing of the past.
