Randolph As predicted*, the first 2½” notebook drive based on flash technology has been released by SanDisk. It currently sits at 32GB and is twice as fast as a 5400 80GB ATA drive. See related link.
I’m just wondering though … since flash drives traditionally have a retention period of about ten years, are magnetic SCSI hard drives still the most reliable long-term storage mechanism?
* I predicted that in 2010, we would have 1TB solid-state hard drives.
