Toshiba, Samsung in race to ship 256GB solid-state drives

[Call4ComputerHelp]

Do you think the HDD will give way to the SSD/MRAM/PRAM  with in 5 years?

As you may know Intel and Asus are already are making laptops with SSD/SD cards.

Will MRAM shorten the SSD's shelf life due MRAM's data reliability?

Thanks

No,


Yes.

For a desktop computer, a solid state HD is probably not such a big deal.

But, for the laptop/notebook industry, it just makes sense for SO MANY reasons.

It's probably faster than a notebook HD, can withstand much higher G'forces and produces less heat.  The life expectancy should also be greater than a mechanical HD.

I'm all for it.  I've been wondering why it's taking so long to get on the market.

In the last 44 years, I've watched electronics take over for mechanics in SO MANY types of office equipment.  The old 250# iron cash register is gone forever.  Thank God!
I nearly broke my back carrying those things around.

Cheers Mates!
