32gb Nand næsten klar

Samsung er nu tæt på at smide deres Solid State Disk's på markedet. Det i princippet det vi kender fra memory birds, altså bare en slags flash ram.
Disken, som i første omgang er ment til high-end bærbare, kommer til at have en kapacitet på 32gb. Det er måske ikke så meget, tænker du, men hastigheden og strømforbruget taget i betragtning, ja, så vælter den al anden modstand.

" Seoul (Korea) - Samsung said that it has begun sampling of 50 nm NAND flash memory chips that are required to build the long announced 32 GB 2.5 GB solid state disk (SSD). The flash drive is expected to replace traditional hard drives in higher end notebooks and offer significant advantages in data transfer rates as well as power consumption ."



I nyheden berøres emnet hybrid diske selvfølgelig også, for også her ser vi at det rykker tættere og tættere på. Samsung lover faktisk nogle ganske imponerende tal til os.

" The Korean semiconductor company is also a driving force in developing a market for hybrid hard drives - hard drives that combine NAND flash memory with traditional hard drive technology. Earlier last year, Samsung told TG Daily that hybrid hard drives would be shipping "in large quantities" in January 2007. Specifications of the devices have not been revealed yet, but prototypes used NAND flash with capacities of 128 KB and 256 KB. Samsung promises that this will be enough to enable notebooks to run up to 30 minutes longer and boot up to 50% faster than comparable devices with a common hard drive."
