Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
The FCC requirement is only to carry the locals in analog until 3 years after the switchover. A half a dozen analog channels doesn't account for 70% of their bandwidth. Most of these cable operators have upward of 60 channels still on analog and that is a huge bandwidth hog that they CAN do something about without having to resort to SDV.
They do SDV because most analog only cable rates are a crime against humanity and are a revenue stream they don't want to upset and they know the people the do upset with SDV are a very small minority. Believe me TWC and Cox are probably thinking to themselves "Suckers, $40k is nothing compared to the subscriber loss we would suffer if we dropped all analogs except the locals."
