Death of the Fujitsu 1.8-inch hard drive
While you’re paying your last respects to the Dell Axim line of PDAs, be sure to visit another computing casket as well today. Fujitsu had planned a 1.8-inch traditional hard drive line for mobile devices but just put the kibosh on it with a wait-and-see approach. Fujitsu realizes that the storage market appears poised towards flash-based or SSD drives; in my opinion, canceling plans to fabricate magnetic storage devices is a wise move. Remember, my prediction is that by this time next year we’ll see nearly as many new devices with SSD storage as we do with traditional magnetic storage.
anybody seen comparison chart between HDD and SDD? with price, performance and power consumption figures!
this is an important aspect of determining what one wants in their device.
