Quantum Rushmore Solid State Drive

[jasonja]

Heat,

I think he's refering to just using a software Ram Drive. Software like RamDisk. It allocates some RAM in your system and assigns it a disk drive letter. Read about the software here

This software is neat because it has an automatic backup feature.. so when you shut down it saves everything on the ram disk to a real disk and restores it when you boot back up. I'm thinking of moving my source files to a ram drive to speed up some compiles I'm doing.

You guys should really check out Bitmicro.

134MB is nothing.

These are design more for industrial use than consumer use.

My company has a failsafe system that need to withstand tons of shocks and dropping and we NEED a solid state drive. Most of us will be better off with 7200 rpm

This amount of storage is enough for a printer.

Maybe good enough for my keyboard as a buffer...you know I type fast.

Not so long ago, I read about a PCI adapter that can support up to 4GB of PC133 SDRAM.
It's fast and expensive, but personally, I'd still just go with nice fast HDDs. This technology is still very immature and is unable to reap the benefits working off the PCI bus, etc.

Plus wont you lose all the data when you turn off the computer since you are using SDRAM

I can't remember exactly, but I doubt it. I think they had a way of preserving the data. I actually printed out the article, but recently shredded it when I was cleaning up... too bad...

I'll try looking for this online and I'll post a link if I find anything.

I haven't had a chance to read through any of this stuff just now, but I did find the original stuff I read:

Cenatek's Rocket Drive 512MB - 4GB capacity

I'll wait for the IBM Nanotechnology drives comming out.

138GB in a postage stamp!

Data stored on plexi glass

 

[BigJ]

the think is...what if someone actually does buy it?

that's more like it but don't see it coming out in the next 5 years at least

On the site it says no moving parts .. though they have a picture of a conventional HD. hmmm:frown:

The battery that saves the CMOS settings is way <1MB in size.

How much does one of those 12V lantern batteries hold?

I doubt that they will be coming out with that anytime soon.

IBM, Intel are scrambling to build 300 mm wafter FABS (Intel = New York),
I think it will take few years for the Nanotechnology to become anything productive.

I am in the cleanroom engineering business. Any boy! I can't even imagine a cleanroom that incorporates the nano technology!

Damn, Look at what i started....


i was curious, could you like get 4 drives, and then run 2 sets of RAID 0, then witht he 2 RAID 0 drives you have, run them in another RAID 0, and have basically a Raid 0 Squared drive?

eheheh
