		Product	Date	Editors' Rating	Members' Rating	Price
		Fusion-io ioDrive (80GB) The Fusion-io ioDrive is in a performance field of its own. Home users are much better off RAIDing a few SSDs together; however, for those running servers that need extra throughput now, the Fusion-io represents an expensive, but justifiable, saviour.	24 Jun 2009	9.5		£2000
		Intel X-25M solid-state drive (80GB) Intel's X-25M solid-state drive enjoys several advantages over both conventional disk drives and other SSDs, including improvements to data throughput, boot time and notebook battery life. If you can forget about the cost, this is by far the fastest data drive available.	09 Oct 2008	8.3		£400
		Seagate FreeAgent Go Seagate's FreeAgent Go is our favourite portable hard drive to date, earning it an Editors' Choice award. The drive is well designed and fast, and you won't find better value for money.	30 Sep 2008	8.5		£76

		LaCie Safe Mobile Hard Drive (80GB) The LaCie Safe Mobile Hard Drive's fingerprint recognition scanner makes it an excellent, inexpensive vehicle for moving large quantities of sensitive data.	29 Sep 2005	7.3		£149
