Samsung develops NAND-based hard disk drive replacement

Samsung Electronics recently announced that it has developed the first Solid State Disk (SSD) based on NAND Flash memory technology for consumer and mobile PC applications. This is a low power, lightweight storage media for notebook PCs, sub-notebook PCs and tablet PCs. Using the industry's highest density 8Gb (Gigabit) NAND Flash, Samsung can build SSDs with a capacity of up to 16GB.

The SSD has a power consumption rate less than 5% of today's hard disk drives (HDDs), enabling next generation mobile PCs to extend their battery life by more than 10%. The NAND-based SSD weighs less than half that of a comparably sized HDD.

Free of moving parts, the Samsung SSD memory has minimal noise and heat emission. Moreover, it is a highly reliable storage media that endures exceptionally well in environments with extreme temperatures and humidity, making it suited for industrial and military applications.

The SSD's performance rate exceeds that of a comparably sized HDD by more than 150%. The storage disk reads data at 57 MegaBytes per second (MBps) and writes it at 32MBps.

The market leader in global NAND flash memory since 2002, Samsung has invested heavily to achieve double-density growth every year, further driving the market to higher memory densities and more affordable pricing.

To ensure compatibility, SSDs have been designed to look like HDDs from the outside. Samsung has developed a full line up of SSDs: 2.5-inch type SSDs that carry 16 NAND Flash devices of 4Gbit or 8Gbit density for 8GBytes and16GByte of storage respectively. 1.8-inch type SSDs will also offer 4GBytes or 8GBytes of density.

Solid State Harddrives.. About time.

Course One of those will probably be about 5 grand.

I used to think 1 gigabyte was huge...now I don't feel that 16 is enough. Hopefully in the coming years, it'll go up to what we expect now from regulat hd.

When is the 200GB one coming out?

16GB? My PowerBook has 80GB and I feel pressed for space.

16 gigs is plenty actually. Just delete the porn and everything would be awesome. We really don't need High Speed Porn....... or do we.

Ah, if only it were porn on my laptop. It's more like 50MB TIF or PSD files that I create when I'm working on my photography.

I'd blow through 16GB in a heartbeat.
