Answer
Your RAM sticks connect to your Motherboard just like your Hard Drive does. So you have to add more RAM to the Motherboard.

If they exist, what are some brands of portable rugged external solid state drives?

I'm aware of SSD for internal hard drives, but I want an SSD as an external hard drive. I want one that isn't just shock-resistant but also dust and moisture resistant. I haven't found one yet, but I figure SSD external hard drives do exist. I also want around 500 GB of storage. I have a La Cie Rugged Hard Disk and there is a new model that does have 500GB of storage. It is a pocket size external hard disk. It also needs to Mac compatible. It would also be more useful if it were both PC and Mac compatible. Last, it needs to support MAC OS X Leopard's Time Machine. I am aware that not all external hard drives/disks support or are configured for Time Machine.

Buffalo nixes plans for first external SSD drive
The only drawback with this drive looked to be its price -- $800
By John E. Dunn

February 15, 2008 (TechWorld.com) Buffalo Technology Inc. has said that it has no plans to sell the world's first external drive based on solid-state technology, the MiniStation SHD-UHRS, in the U.K.

It now looks likely that the 2.5 inch form factor 100GB SSD drive, trailed by Japanese websites in December, was only a taster for future product directions and will never be sold outside the company's home market of Japan.

The drive would have been ideal for laptop users for whom the improved performance and lower power consumption of SSD technology would have scored well. As the first such drive based on USB 2.0, it is also slightly smaller than an equivalent drive based on conventional 2.5 inch HDD designs.

The only drawback with this drive looked to be its price -- over $800 based on a currency conversion from Yen -- giving it an uncomfortably high price per megabyte.

The company has at least super-sized its range of conventional 2.5 inch HDDs, announcing the "half a terabyte in your pocket" 500GB MiniStation . The drive comes with limited two-year warranty and costs $400 for the 500GB version.

The concept is identical, bar the capacity, to the MiniStation drive announced some months ago, right down to the same functional industrial design and wrap-around USB cable. The drive is compatible with Apple's much-criticized Time Machine backup system.

SSD drives started appearing in laptops some months ago, with a price premium to reflect their specialist nature. High-end drive systems based on SDD have even as reached as high 1.6TB, but the latest news confirms that mainstream SSD drives are only slowly emerging as direct competitors for conventional HDDs.
