Solid State hard drives - They will replace our existing
Finally - and yes possibly because of mp3 players and the
continuing development of such - the cost of Solid State
computer memory is dropping.
Camera memory cards or sticks as some people call them are very
well priced and readily available, you can now get up to 2gb,
and in some cases 4gb units depending on the brand and type of
card you require, USB flash/pen drives can now be bought in up
to 2gb and no doubt higher in the near future.
This is where it gets interesting, you can now buy solid state,
hard drives of up to 4gb which work on the same NAND flash chip
technology as used on the solid state MP3 players like the iPod
Nano and Sandisc M200. This NAND flash memory is available in
units that fit directly into your computers standard IDE ATA
interface socket, saving you space with no cables to get in the
way and other designs will slot along side or below your
existing hard drives and wire into your IDE ATA slots with your
standard cables.
Both of these units are designed to work in very demanding
conditions as they have no moving parts like your existing hard
drives, with advantages including a faster data access and
transfer rate, a lower power consumption and no noise.
Main Features of these units:
- Fully Compatible With IDE Interface
- Complies with Standard ATA Interface
- No noise
- No Seek Error
- Very high Shock Resistance
- No Latency Delay
- Low Power Consumption
- Highest Product Quality and Fastest data access
- Error Correction and Wear Leveling
- Extended Product life (excess of 3-million hours of -
operation) - Industry Standard interfaces
- Plug-in adaptation without proprietary connections
- Densities from 16MB to 4GB+
- Factory OS Format: use Out-of-the-Box, just add
applications/code
- Extended Temperature Range
These Solid state - NAND type - Hard drives are another part of
our future - today. To learn more and checkout the
