  • With regards to the 20GB PS3, for those that don't read Slashdot, a few comments... Quote: Although the PS3 sales are hardly strong, I honestly think the 20GB PS3 was more or less vaporware, from a practical stand-point. I swear to the Lord that…

  • I was just doing some looking, but it would be possible to purchase the 32GB flash drive, buy an external 2.5" sata house, and then plug it in via esata, firewire800. My question then is, can it still sustain its fast read speeds over a esata, firew…
