> [@TeamXbox.com](#): > > The 32GB Flash-SSD, which acts as replacement to a traditional hard disk drive, is a state-of-the-art data storage medium ideal for notebooks and other mobile devices because weighs only half as much as a comparably-sized hard drive, uses just five percent of the electricity needed to power a hard disc drive and is noiseless. In addition, the Samsung Flash-SSD is free of any motor or other mechanical parts and uses instantly-accessible, non-moving NAND flash memory to read data three times faster and write data 1.5 times faster than a hard disk drive. ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/2305/7a3c0a243f768f0f.jpg) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/2306/f2ee86f4f14facf2.jpg) [DailyTech.com Article](http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=1367) [TeamXbox.com Article](http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/10522/Samsung-Launches-32GB-NAND-Flash-Solid-State-Disk/) ---

A fundamental rule of technology is that whatever can be done will be done…its just a question of who and when. I truly believe that all this blu-ray and the MS format (the name escapes me) will be obsolete in 5 or so years…people will be using portable hard drives like Billy Gates predicted years ago. ---

Yeah I think so too. Who wants to pay for blank media anyways? I’ve got 2 4gig microdrives that are for my digital camera. One of them I just use to port around stuff. I also have a 2 gig flashdrive. The ease of use compared to burning a friggin cd every time you want to move something is insane. ---
