Think that SSD drive is fast?

amazing - though in my own situation, my computer already is faster than I can think - actually an abacus is faster than I can think. :crazyeyes:
 
Humans.

Down into the discreet quantum bits for manipulating data! And from reaction times at 100Hz or so, to timing so slight as to need a new way to measure and observe it. Brilliant.

This may be old hat for most of you. But I like how you move forward 1 letter of the alphabet for each letter in HAL and you get IBM...

Regular HDs will be taking the path of the 3" floppies with the new solid state drives coming out! Be nice if they make them where we can pull out our conventional drives and plug in a solid state one with high storage capacity. I would think the technology is here already in the usb sticks. I just bought two 32 gig sticks. Hard to imagine that much storage on a tiny chip. Now were into terabyte drives! Where will it stop and how much more do we need? I just appears to be a contest between manufacturers. PJ

Basil's link sounds like the new technology is for the regular hard drives. SSD's aren't magnetic.

I have a 120GB SSD drive in the computer I'm on right now. I kept the magnetic drive for files and use the SSD for the OS and booting up.
 
On a side note ... when will we stop calling them "drives"? Is a flash drive really a "drive"?

How 'bout "bank" or "store" or ...?

It's like today's phrase: "caught on tape" video. Hardly anyone uses tape anymore. Our vocabulary is mired in habit.

Planned Obsolescence in modern form. "Google Glasses" will be um... supplanted by corneal implants, to be bumped with cerebral grafting of some inordinately powerful processor... the next phase will be extinction. :devilgrin:

As a friend of mine says: The only reason Earth allowed humans to develop, is that Earth couldn't create plastic by itself. Now that Earth is covered with plastic, there's no more need for humans.

Yikes!
