Dell Says Nothing Wrong With SSD Notebooks

It has been reported recently that notebooks featuring Solid State Drives have been seeing return rates of 20 or 30 percent. It was Avian Securities who came out with those figures, and now Dell has responded, saying that actual return rates are closer to 3%. This is much more in line with what you would expect. Avain aren't challenging Dell's data, so it looks like they got their numbers mixed up somewhere, though they still continued by making a point about customer satisfaction when it comes to SSD drives. It is no secret that these early SSD drives aren't as fast as we would like them to be and no doubt they will continue to get faster as time goes on (just as everything else in this industry does).
