I really think that the days of HDD are counted and that SSD is the future. And this news about Toshiba releasing a 512 GB SSD seems to confirm this idea.
Toshiba has announced its latest SSD line that includes the industry’s first 512GB SSD. That much storage capacity puts the SSD up there with some of the largest traditional HDDs aimed at notebook users. The 2.5-inch 512GB SSD is built using Toshiba’s 43nm NAND technology.
If you think that some threads where some "geeks" talk about technical stuff is interesting, let me tell you, when those geeks chat privately things get more interesting. Today I was having one of those private chats with my friend JKK about the advantages of SSD versus HDD no because neither of us is not convinced that SSD is the future but because he was pointing me that the SSD in the Everun was not working as fast as it should have been working. During our conversation I showed JKK this video...
But guess what, JKK is not of those kind of players that lose without a good fight, so he replied me back with this other video.
Ok JKK, You won... this time. 
More and more SSD drives are coming to markets so prices and availability is getting better. You should still be careful as some drives are too big for some UMPCs.
Our friend JKK has published a very interesting article where he shows that the SSD could be bigger than the regular 1.8" HDD and how you can make it fit in your UMPC in case you run into this case.
