Looks like the SanDisk SerialATA 5000 2.5in solid state drive will be available as an option for IBM HS21 XM Blades by the end of July.
The benefits of a solid state drive is reduced power, heat and improved performance/seek times. According to reports the SanDisk flash drive uses up to 87 percent less power then 2 typical hard drives which would equate to a savings of about 18 watts per blade, 252 watts per chassis, or 1,512 watts per server rack.
