32 GB Flash Storage Drive Announced

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the laptop-that-could-survive-for-more-than-30-mins dept.

Audrius writes to tell us TG Daily is reporting that Samsung has just announced a new 32 GB Flash storage device. The aim of this new solid state disk (SSD) drive is to completely replace the traditional hard drives in many laptops on the market. Some of the advantages offered are the 1.8" form factor, read speeds more than twice that of a normal hard drive, and the promise of 95% less power use.

    These flash drives still have very low rotational speeds. I'd wait a few years until they get them spinning a little faster.

    I'm reminded of Star Trek. We all know that Star Trek is the way of the future. Talk about beating a dead horse. But this story made me think back on the episode where Cmdr. Data is swapping all of those USB flash drives into a different order to overcome some technical problem. USB and Flash memory are therefor, conclusively, here to stay for good.

      See, this is why you NEVER, EVER, post anything remotely funny about Star Trek. Let's see....3 comments pointing out that you're wrong, dead wrong, those were ISOLINEAR chips, dumbass....and 1 comment about how the robot gets laid.
      Something about ST just seems to bring out the worst part of geekdom.



      Now all the TREKKIES are going to mod me down because I called Data a ROBOT when he's clearly an ANDROID. Karmic Suicide.



      disclaimer: I'm currently watching the entire run of ENT start to finish. But I actually get away from the screen .....for HOURS at a time, even!
