Bah............I want my Star Trek light chips.

[Ghost [PX]]

Dont we all Jason?
Until then... I just want another 2 250GB hard drives...

[[Fallen]Thumperup]

all we needs a array of Memory. Much faster then a Hard disk.

Much more expensive though

[[PX]Kal Bob]

more volatile though... one glitch in power and all gone

[[Fallen]Thumperup]

I mean the real expensive stuff

Static ram

[[PX]Kal Bob]

ah,
"Much more expensive though", you ain't kidd'en!

[[Fallen]Thumperup]

get a 100 Gigs in that and you'll be in heaven

This new tech sounds great but it also seems that there is much greater chance of a failure in the disk....the tolerances are very high.

Hitachi achieved the 230 Gb/in2 density by manipulating the head and media so that the distance between them is a mere 10 nanometers or 1/10,000th of a human hair.

I guess that Samsung has other plans:

I think I'm going to follow the old rule of 'let someone else try it first'

I think I'm going to follow the old rule of 'let someone else try it first'

Arguably, one of the better rules.

I'd like some duotronic or isolinear tech though. Apart from the exploding, it seems pretty reliable.

[THE JEW (RaVeN)]

Yeah, but if there's no risk of explosion....................where's the fun in that?

You follow that rule, except that you test it yourself... with other people's money. oooh burn!
