Samsung’s Flash memory Harddrive – Windows Vista Only

August 20, 2007May 9, 2006 by Chad O.

The Register is reporting that Samsung and Microsoft will have a demonstration of Samsung’s new Flash-based harddrive here in a few weeks at WinHEC (Windows Hardware Engineering Conference). Flash-based harddrives have a lot of advantages – especially in the area of durability, but the initial expense will be one of the largest hurdles to widespread adaptation (there are technical hurdles, but by the time these things are ready to ship, those should be overcome).

It looks like Microsoft Windows Vista will be the first Operating System to support such storage, so it’ll be a while before anybody sees these drives in production machines.

Recently I mentioned that more information has come out about Samsung’s flash-based 32GB solid state hard dives for notebooks. CNET ASia is reporting that the drives are being offered to manufacturers. They mention that the costs are as of yet, unknown, but that based on comparable flash-based memory, they could be quite expensive.

Announced: Samsung Q35 (Dell Latitude X2 Soon?)

April 9, 2008March 22, 2006 by Chad O.

MobileWhack.com has news that Samsung Korea has just announced the Samsung Q35, a sequel to the Samsung Q30. The Q30 was never available in the US under the Samsung brand (some imported them, but it was through third party resellers), but it was available in the US as the Dell Latitude X1. Does this mean we could see some kind kind of Dell Latitude X2 in the not too distant future?

More Info on Samsung Flash-Based Drives

March 22, 2006March 21, 2006 by Chad O.

TG Daily has more information about Samsung’s upcoming NAND flash-based drives. We already know they are using the 1.8″ small form factor and are come in 32GB capacities, but we speculated about power consumption and speeds, and now we have the specs (only from Samsung’s PR though): they can read data at 57MB/s and write at 32MB/s (which according to TG daily is about twice as fast as a normal 1.8″ drives. They are being called “solid state disks” (or SSDs).
