Well, the article doesn't actually compare HDD with SSD. It just shows you how crafty the Chinese are at making fake SSD by shoving a looped flash drive into a hard drive container and selling it as a HDD.

Still funny none the less

1193833 2011-04-12 23:35:00 This has happened a lot in the past with cheap USB flash drives on eBay, 4GB, 8GB, and they turn out to be only 1GB or something.

They modify the firmware to report the larger size - there's a tool floating around to reconfigure it and restore the drive to the proper capacity and make it usable (without the wrap-around feature)
