Samsung launches the World’s first PC with NAND flash-based solid state disk

… the PCs are completely silent, far more robust, have an instant-on for viewing multimedia content, reads 300 percent faster (53MB/s) and writes 150 percent quicker (28MB/s) and boots up to 50% faster on the SSD than on computers with traditional hard disk drives.

This is a key milestone for all day, super thin, instant on computing. We’ve been waiting for this for ages.  Hopefully these become mainstream in the next 6 months. 2 years out we’ll look back with amusement on laptops that have a hard disk for primary storage and having to wait a couple of minutes for boot up.

Comment: Peter noted: Korea’s leap to technological leadership is no accident and Governments of the world should take note of the benefits of providing the most up-to-date telecommunications technologies to its population.

Topical no?
