Making double the SSD (Solid State Disk) capacity every 12 months. This was declared from Jim Elliott, marketing vice president for Samsung memories section, last year when Samsung's 128GB SSD was launched.

You do not need to be a physicist to understand the advantages of SSDs (Solid State Disk) compared to the HDs (Hard Disk): no moving parts (no mechanical parts), much less power consumed, very little heat produced, total silence, extremely competitive read/write data amount and, above all, performances that are improved continuously.

It is been estimated that a large percentage (about 40 %) of the HDs (Hard Disk) sold on eBay contain private and sensitive pieces of information.

The SSDs (Solid State Disks) are, practically, flash memories. They do not have mechanical parts and, as a consequence, compared to HDs (Hard Disks), they are more robust but have lower capacity.

A SSD (solid state drive) is a data storage device and uses solid state memory to store persistent data.
Intel launched its new family of solid state drives claiming a significant performance advantage over its competitors. Solid state drives are small, lightweight and durable but they come with a high price tag and are typically slow. However, researchers in Korea have found a way of making these storage devices faster. The technique involves mixing two types of memory to increase the overall speed without also jacking up the price.
