Solid State Disk is too expensive for consumer as of today. A 64Gb SSD will cost you a whopping 1300USD. Thats the quote I got from my taiwan supplier. Currently their main customer is the US military.
Does anyone in the industry have any comments on Treks new SSD DRIVE ? How will it measure up to the current HDD Drives ?
TREK 2000 INTERNATIONAL LTD
(Registration Number 199905744N)NEWS RELEASE
TREK INTRODUCES SDD DRIVE
SINGAPORE, 17 January 2008
or the ?Group?) today announced the introduction of the first SSD IEEE 1667 compliant drive
in anticipation of the new IEEE 1667 standard that will soon be incorporated into operating
systems that are commonly used in computers, electronic and other similar devices.
The SSD Drive provides an option to the commonly used hard disk drive (HDD). It uses the
solid-state memory i.e the NAND FLASH and therefore has no moving parts. As such, it is a
more reliable device with the ability to deliver higher performance in terms of data transfer
and its random read-write performance is significantly enhanced by more than 1,000 times
compared to the conventional HDD, which is an optical media and is therefore relatively
sensitive.
Trek will be unveiling its IEEE 1667 SSD Drive at the forthcoming CeBIT exhibition planned
for the first week of March in Hanover, Germany.
Commenting on Trek?s latest engineering feat, Mr. Henn Tan, Chairman and CEO says, ?we
do not have the luxury of time when creating solutions for the technology industry. Our
solutions not only have to be unique, they also have to be fast and must reach the market
ahead of the devices to bring value to our customers.?
