Researchers at Houston’s Rice University have demonstrated a new medium for data storage, which is made out of a mere 10 atom thick layer of graphite. The technology has huge implications not only for advancing the capacities of flash memory, but also for space exploration with its ability to withstand radiation and temperatures of -75 to 200 degrees Celsius, that would destroy modern Solid State Disks.

Toshiba have today announced a new line of flash-based 2.5-inch notebook SSDs that mark an industry first with a top storage capacity of 512GB. The drives are based on 43 nanometer Multi-Level Cell NAND and will be displayed at the upcoming CES 2009 in January. Monday, 15 December 2008
OCZ technology recently unveiled an eSATA Flash Drive with built-in USB connectivity, similar to that of Kanguru’s e-Flash Drive announced back in November. Like the e-Flash, it offers fast eSATA transfers on computers equipped with the port, or ordinary transfers over USB for those that don’t, so you can have the best of both worlds when working between different computers.

Fujitsu yesterday announced two new 500GB 2.5″ hard disk drives, the MJA2BH and the MJA2CH, which feature the industry’s best energy-efficiency levels. This is impressive enough, but buried in Fujitsu’s Press Release is a far more interesting feature…the ability of the latter drive to completely erase its entire 500GB capacity in under one second.

Here’s a neat device for people out there who like to conceal their gadgetry. You know who you are…housing your TV’s behind doors in cabinets and building whole computer workstations inside cupboards. Well, here’s one for your SATA Hard Disk Drive and I must say, it does radiate a certain warm, old world, vintage kinda charm. Thursday, 25 September 2008
Toshiba today announced a new world first for 1.8-inch drives with their MK2529GSG model which holds an impressive 250GB. The 5,400rpm drive uses a SATA interface with a 3Gbps data transfer rate, has a seek time of just 15ms and is a mere 8mm (0.31-inch) thin, making it ideal for ultra-portable laptops and portable media players.

Western Digital has today announced their latest portable hard drive solution in the form of the elegant ‘My Passport Elite’ range with capacities of up to 500GB. The drives run on USB bus power, weigh less than 7 ounces and sport a capacity gauge that informs you, at-a-glance, of all remaining storage space. Wednesday, 27 August 2008
A new hard drive by Samsung has shown up in China that is so small it will fit in your wallet. The credit card-sized drive only holds 20GB of data, but at a price of only US$45, who’s complaining? Monday, 11 August 2008
Here is some great news I’ve received from tipster Hitori Futari. Photofast will be releasing a SATA Solid State Disk enclosure called the CR-9000 that enables you to inexpensively build your own SSD with your choice of flash memory cards. The enclosure will allow up to 6 SDHC (MLC or SLC) cards to be used simultaneously and will allow the use of just 1 card if that’s all you have on hand. For good performance, however, you’ll want to use as many of those 6 slots as possible, as demonstrated in the benchmark test screenshots below. No prices have been announced, but the product is ready to go (Photofast actually sent Futari one as a gift). There are a few other models on the way as well. Here is Futari’s overview of the lot: CR-9000 CR-7500 CR-7300 SSD CR-1000 series Futari performed a few benchmark tests of his own using a single cheap 4GB SDHC card (MLC type) that he had on hand. He used a friend’s MacBook Pro with a fresh install of Tiger 10.4. Here are his results, timed with a stop watch: Bootup time from cold boot: OS X startup bar: Shutdown time: Weight: Futari also mentioned that the CR-3100 and CR-5400 adapters have officially been released (in Asia at least), which is great news for Sony PSP fans looking for more storage. There is no word on a U.S. or European release. A big thanks to Hitori Futari. Great work once again. UPDATE:
