Samsung's 16GB solid state laptop drive
Samsung is showing off a new 16GB solid state drive for laptops and Tablet PCs that's based on based on NAND Flash memory. The 2.5-inch drives will almost certainly be crazy expensive when they come out in August, and 16GB isn't much compared with the 100GB drives that are showing up in laptops these days, but Samsung says their solid state drive will use 95% less power than regular laptop drives, not to mention that they'll also be quieter, weigh half as much, and emit considerably less heat.
