Graphene, the material made of carbon atoms set in hexagonal molecules, and which is seen as the holy grail of semiconductors of all kinds, continues to be one of the main topics of discussion among tech researchers.
Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been in the thick of graph... [read more >>] It was bound to happen sooner or later, but most people were banking on later: Seagate will give SSDs a big push this year but dropping manufacture of a certain type of hard disk drive.
While there are hard disk drive units with platter speeds of 10,000 rotations per minute, they are rare, and expensive.
... [read more >>] Capacity has been the one constant advantage that hard disk drives have maintained over solid-state ones, and while researchers from the Oregon State University, US, don't have a way to help companies maintain that advantage, they do have something that can boost capacities all around.
Western Digita... [read more >>] The promise of free rewards has always been one of the most successful means of getting people to do something, or to buy something they normally would have qualms about.
Samsung's 840 Pro solid-state drives, even with their transfer speeds of up to 540 MB/s, aren't exactly that much better than... [read more >>] Solid-state drives may have standard shapes and sizes, but Skyera and Micron didn't really care about meeting any sort of expectations, except their own perhaps, when they created Skyhawk.
The device isn't actually called a solid-state drive, but that is essentially what it is: a storage product... [read more >>] A little over a week ago, we learned about a nanotechnology-based technique that could lead to the creation of DVDs with 4TB capacities, but it was implied that years would pass before practical applications emerged.
A new startup company, created by a Case Western Reserve University physics professor and... [read more >>] The falling price of NAND and subsequent downwards spiral of SSD unit prices have prompted Toshiba to attempt a price hike by stopping or reducing its output by an overall margin of 30% for a couple of months.The company hoped that such a move will lead to a modest breaking of the falling NAND prices, but s... [read more >>] One would think that a flooding disaster severe enough to throw the global HDD production out of whack would have consequences that follow at least some measure of logic, but that does not seem to be the case. There was a time when practically everyone even remotely affected by the late 2011 flood in Thai... [read more >>] Samsung’s new 840 SSD product line is powered by the company’s new MDX controller that is basically the hero of the new 840 series. The company has just wrapped up its first edition of the SSD Global Summit in Seoul yesterday and gave out the first Samsung 840 TLC NAND SSDs. We reported here on... [read more >>] Japanese electronics giant Toshiba has just introduced two new hybrid hard drives (HHD) that feature SLC NAND memory and come in a modest 2.5” format. The new drives feature disappointing technical specifications and likely won’t offer impressive performance.
Toshiba’s new drives feature ... [read more >>] |
