The Next Generation of Super Hero Hard Drives

Last weekend, I & 39; were in the Science Museum in London. L & 39; one of the most fascinating boxes that I saw was & 39; products in the past 50 years. Select a topic of some household products really shows the speed with which technology advances. It was absolutely massive VCR was at least four times the size of & 39; a DVD recorder classic. V & 39; time, I am sure that everyone wanted and was one of the coolest gadget around.
Following this trend, & 39; computer, we & 39; aujourd hui about drooling, one day, the heavy piece of waste that people see in museums. It is a little sad to see all these redundant devices - but at the same time, it is exciting to wonder what the future & 39; a store for us. So, what are the computers, just like in the coming decades? Most people would say, smaller and more efficient. Sure - a wise prediction, but, as on earth & 39; n can be any computer smaller scale by the minute they are already?
In during the & 39; summer 2007, Custom PC Magazine published an article on the Solid-State-drives (SSDs). Also known as Flash drives - this & 39; s technology is already in the mainstream " " form of storage USB-Stick and the & 39; iPod nano. However, these orders of & 39; article one day replace traditional courses drive.
A application of disk: the iPod & 39; d & 39; explain the difference, we take, for example, l & 39 ; iPod. The 2007 version of & 39; iPod nano uses flash memory to store & 39; up to 8 GB of music and photos. Unlike the iPod & 39; longer available, it & 39; has no moving parts and therefore can not dropped and never will be & 39; s use. According to the difference, the only & 39; to the ear. An iPod makes much whiz and click noise, plates as spin-Tours - Nanotechnology makes no noise at all.
Having no moving parts & 39; n is not only good news for reliability, it also means that readers can instantly. As far as I can remember from & 39; article is, I believe, 50 to 100 times faster was the character Ballpark, they speak. Indeed, flash drive, would be able to load the window, and any other program of the thing, almost instantly.
The analogy that I & 39; loves & 39; think this is the game console. An employee of Sony Play Station register a DVD to this game, where as Game Boy DS takes cartridges. The difference in loading time is very erratic - DS & 39; is the body that takes a few Play Station seconds.
The iPod nano is capable of & 39; d & 39; lasting about 24 hours on a single charge , which shows another characteristic of the very beautiful SSDs - They seem hardly power. For example, the battery varies depending on the time of & 39; laptop could be extended, perhaps 50%, if the technology was incorporated.
The advantages of these new disks are clear and they seem higher than those conventional, in each unit. Well, not entirely true. The cost of these drives is so expensive, so far, that & 39; it has been fully exploited, and & 39; army of & 39; air and space applications. An adequate size DSS would probably cost several times the cost of & 39; laptop, it is inside.
The good news is that prices fall, because mass production increases. I would not be surprised if, within 5-10 years only hard drives hubs will return to the path of video, audio and gramophones. However, if you miss, there& 39;s always a science museum ...
Zach Hope & 39; is the author of Speed-Up Windows XP.com, an Internet site, maybe somebody & 39; an d & 39; teach a clear acceleration of Windows revive old computers. You can eliminateslow periods of startup and & 39; aujourd hui & 39; really slow your computer. Internet & Businesses.com
