myocardia - to me at least the answer is simple - Mempile can't manufacture the media in quantities - there are several large media manufacturers in the world and they have a very different agenda - they want to promote DVD, Blu-ray and HD-DVD in the next 3-5 years at least - jumping directly to...

Well its true I guess. Even Mempile themselves admit it will probably be around 2010-2011 before you can actually buy one (Although I had the pleasure of holding the yellow media in my hands just a few months ago. It especially interesting in my view since the technology is so different...

Any thoughts? anybody? :confused:

Hello all, Our recent article on the new technology developed by the Israeli company Mempile for a new type of optical media capable of 1TB on a single CD sized disc was widely covered last week. We received many questions regarding the technology and many people on TFOT and TG daily also...

Thanks Dean - somehow this always happens to me.

Hello all, I am happy to share with you our latest article which covers a new type of CPU cooling technology developed by Kronos and Intel and based on corona discharge effect. This technology will potentially allow to cool down even the warmest CPUs/GPUs with 0db and with very small...

The cost for 32GB will be around 1000$ not 2000-3000$ - still expensive but it will come down - I would say that by the end of 2007 we might see sub 500$ 32GB SSDs.

I will quate from my own article: Q: Is there currently some sort of technical limitation on the creation of SSDs other than cost, and what about the reliability of flash media? A: Historically SSDs were limited in the number of R/W cycles. However, with modern flash technology and error...

m... if you can afford a 4GHz CPU (probably OC) and Rabel XT you might be able to afford the new SSD (at least 3 different manufacturers are going to enter the market very soon now).

They are not cheap and will not get very cheap for a while - this is their major problem. Everybody is mentioning reliability - from all the people in the industry I was talking to this is no longer an issue (and I am talking of people who are using this technology for years. Remember that...

Hello all, After our successful previous article on Samsung Hybrid hard drive we have just published a follow up covering the upcoming solid state hard drive. Unlike the HHD the upcoming SSD will work with XP as well as Vista (although it will fair better under the new OS). The main problem...

Hello All, We recently published an article and an interview with Actuality Systems - the company responsible for one of the more interesting 3D displays which sadly currently used mostly for medical applications. In our interview with the company founder Gregg Favalora we received a very...

Thanks QuiksilverX1. As for numbers - I guess we shall all have to wait a bit - maybe closer to the end of the year or even very early next year. Please remember that they will probably be going to laptops first where power consumption is more important than performance.

Hello all, Some of you might have already read our recent Samsung HHD story on Slashdot a few days ago but to whoever didn't get the chance here it is. Beside our interview with Andy Yang from Samsung the article includes a few nice pictures of the new prototype drive. By the way we are...

well, I have downloaded & installed the latest version but as far as I can determine this software is suppose to list Hard drive's etc' and not music CD's (and cassette tapes). iddo
