If your SSD sucks, blame Vista, says SSD vendor

<a href="http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/07/22/sandisk_ssd_vista_beef/">It's Windows Vista's fault</a> that solid-state storage isn't performing as well as its proponents predicted. So said SanDisk CEO Eli Harari.

SSDs are viewed as the heir apparent to the hard disk, particularly for laptops and other mobile computers. SSDs are way more shock-resistant and consume less power. Theoretically, they should deliver better performance. But they don't. According to Harari, it's because "Vista is not optimised for Flash memory solid-state disks".
