  9. Re:Solid state on Sony Develops Fluid-Filled Bags For Hard Disks · · Score: 1

    I've played around with liquid cooling in the past and have never been able to come up with a reliable (read: long term=years) solution that does not leak.
    Without comparing your own personal attempts at liquid cooling to Sony's R&D dept attempting to stabilize high speed high speed disk drives, I think it's possible that if this proves viable for laptop/portable hard disk implementations then we may see it eventuate.


    High density magnetic storage is the best value for capacity and solid state memory doesn't look to overtake it anytime soon. I will admit that a laptop with, say, 120 gigs of flash memory seems pretty attractive :)

    RTFA. Sony's patent is not about encasing current technology, it's about integrating this liquid system into a proprietary product. Provided it works correctly, I imagine that you would never see the liquid mentioned since it would be internal.

    In this context, a program such as the Windows Genuine Advantage is the last of your concerns. anyone with Vista that thinks WGA is their main concern is probably delusional.
