Apparently, Myspace has just converted all of its data storage from hard disks to flash drives.
Computer World Article
Using the new solid state memory instead of hard drives saves more than 99% of the power used by the servers, but solid state memory only has a limited number of write cycles, somewhere between 1,000 and 100,000 depending on the type. Then the disks are fried.
Someone write a program to constantly update and upload information to their my space account.
