Solid-state storage 8GB
The only fixed component in a PC that has moving parts is currently the much adopted but old technology of mechanical hard disk drives, this does need to change and we are seeing big moves forward in brands planning on changing things in this computer hardware area.

Mechanical hard disk drives are an unwanted bottleneck in the modern computer as I have experienced this much more on my latest PC which has an Intel Dual Core 2 processor running at 2.4ghz and the hard drive sounds like it is being pounded by the processor (so I only guess that the processor moves much faster than the hard drive).

As said on PC Plus “The future saviour from the spinning disc’s performance dead-end is NAND flash memory, This is being heralded and demonstrated by Intel as a way to accelerate drive performance by using NAND drives as a form of cache for existing hard drives” and we would have to agree, that’s why this Transcend 8GB Flash IDE drive is most welcomed.

    I am looking forward to hard drives moving much faster, as current hard drive technology is a joke.
