Chipmakers are expected to switch over to new 20nm-class processes by then, and will also bring down its cost which will result in SSDs into important choice for low cost storage. In an event in Taipei, memory makers from Chinese and Taiwanese requested all companies to develop and standardize SSD specifications so that it can be challenged to core technologies currently controlled by major international vendors. ]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://gadgetmix.com/news/ssds-to-become-very-important-in-year-2011/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Sabertooth Z PATA ZIF SSD for your HP Mini 1000 &#8211; Turbo charge your HP Mini 1000</title><link>http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/sabertooth-z-pata-zif-ssd-for-your-hp-mini-1000-turbo-charge-your-hp-mini-1000/</link> <comments>http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/sabertooth-z-pata-zif-ssd-for-your-hp-mini-1000-turbo-charge-your-hp-mini-1000/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2009 07:18:58 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Paul Merak</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[NetBook]]></category> <category><![CDATA[news]]></category> <category><![CDATA[active media]]></category> <category><![CDATA[application load]]></category> <category><![CDATA[hp]]></category> <category><![CDATA[interface]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mini 1000]]></category> <category><![CDATA[netbooks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sabertooth Z PATA ZIF SSD]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ssd]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ssds]]></category> <category><![CDATA[thomson]]></category> <category><![CDATA[transfer speed]]></category> <category><![CDATA[vice president]]></category> <category><![CDATA[zif connector]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=7892</guid> <description><![CDATA[HP Mini 1000 owners can now 'double' the bootup and application load speeds by using the latest SSD from Active Media: Sabertooth Z PATA ZIP SSD.

The S2 SSD offers 9000 vRPM (virtual revolutions per minute). Both of these new SSDs use a new technology called <em>nCache</em> which basically allocates a dedicated 320MB for caching which improves the overall performance.Both of these SSDs are available in 8, 16, 32 and 64 GB capacities.<em>“Canonical is enabling original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and designers (ODMs) to offer consumers a fantastic user experience with Ubuntu Netbook Remix running on netbooks,” said Chris Kenyon, director, OEM services, Canonical. “Our tests have shown SanDisk second generation pSSD equipped with nCache performing significantly better than a 5400 RPM HDD, providing Ubuntu users with the speed and stability that they need.”</em><em>“All-day battery life is critical in the netbook space, where OEMs carefully evaluate each component for optimal energy efficiency,” said Glen Burchers, marketing director, consumer segment, Freescale. “Like Freescale’s i.MX51 processor, SanDisk’s pSSDs are designed with power management in mind, thus addressing critical market requirements.”</em>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/sandisk-launches-ssds-for-netbooks-pssd-p2-and-s2-ssd/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>New SSD processors from SandForce to provide better performance (SF-1000)</title><link>http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/new-ssd-processors-from-sangforce-to-provide-better-performance-sf-1000/</link> <comments>http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/new-ssd-processors-from-sangforce-to-provide-better-performance-sf-1000/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:10:57 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Paul Merak</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[NetBook]]></category> <category><![CDATA[controller technology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[data retention]]></category> <category><![CDATA[enterprise class]]></category> <category><![CDATA[integrated silicon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mlc]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NAND]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sandforce]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SF-1000]]></category> <category><![CDATA[silicon devices]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SLC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[solid state drive]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ssd]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ssds]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=4964</guid> <description><![CDATA[Sandforce unveiled SF-1000 SSD, which employ Sandforce's new processor that is going to provide consumers cheap and reliable way of storing data on their computers. Thanks to its new  Duraclass technology, the company is confident that it will blur away all the doubts that some people have developed about the MLC SSDs regarding their endurance, reliability and data retention issues.They claim that their controller technology will allow the MLC (Multi Layer Cell) to be used in place of SLC (Single Layer Cell). This would reduce the cost nearly 4 times as compared to what the SLC used to cost. The company also claims its controller can improve MLC sequential read/writes to 250MB/sec. or 30,000 I/Os per second using 4k random writes.If you do not know the difference between the SLC and MLC. Do not panic. Basically, SLC is superior to MLC as they promise better performance and more write cycles. MLC, on the other hand cost less than the SLC and generally come with higher storage capacity.Click on read more to read the press release]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/new-ssd-processors-from-sangforce-to-provide-better-performance-sf-1000/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>34</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Super Talent now shipping UltraDrive ME and UltraDrive LE SSDs</title><link>http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/super-talent-now-shipping-ultradrive-me-and-ultradrive-le-ssds/</link> <comments>http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/super-talent-now-shipping-ultradrive-me-and-ultradrive-le-ssds/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 18 Mar 2009 18:23:46 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Paul Merak</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[NetBook]]></category> <category><![CDATA[le]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ME]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ssd]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ssds]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Super Talent]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SuperTalent]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UltraDrive]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UltraDrive LE]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UltraDrive ME]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=4415</guid> <description><![CDATA[Super Talent’s 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB UltraDrive LE and 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB UltraDrive ME are immediately available in production volumes.
