What I'm looking at is the new external flash-based HDDs ... that's for
down the road, however. <G>
Do you mean the ubiquitous "memory sticks"? But how long can they store
data without errors?
The only "no moving parts" devices I know that really were permanent
were the fusible link PROMs, but they were mostly limited to less than 1
Kb of data.
No ... not the pen drives. Referred to as "Solid State Disk" by some
mfrs. They come both external (with USB connection) and internal in a
2.5" HDD form.
These are stats on one internal model MIC.
* Fully SATA II compatible
* Non-volatile flash memory for outstanding data retention
* Built-in ECC (error correction code) function and wear-leveling
* Algorithm ensures highly reliable of data transfer
* Low power consumption
* Shock resistance
* High read and write speed up to 130Mbps
* Storage capacities: 8 to 64GB
* SATA 7 and 15 pins combo connector
* Input voltage: 5V
* Power consumption (write): 210 to 230mA
* Power consumption (read): 170 to 190mA
* Power consumption (standby): 110 to 120mA
* Dimensions: 100 x 69.85 x 9.5mm
* Weight: 48g
* Operation temperature: 0 to 70 degree Celsius
TigerDirect.com and CompUSA sell 12GB USB 'Micro Hard Drives' for about
$86;TigerD has 32GB Solid State Hard Drives from $190, 64GB from $230
