64GB - 2200

It really will be interesting to see these prices, but I bet we'll be lucky to see them by CES '07.]]>Sep 11th 2006 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/
Anyone that could make that custom 2.5-inch enclosure and instructions on how to integrate that into an existing laptop could make lots of money. Would it even be possible to make such a thing?]]>Sep 11th 2006 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/May 27th 2007 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/
Its tempting to try and get my hands on one of these and do some experients with booting from that instead of the harddrive.]]>Sep 11th 2006 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.olpcnews.com/prototypes/2b1/]]>Sep 11th 2006 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/
I just hope this happens before for my old Notebook dies it only has about one to two more years left in it. ]]>Sep 11th 2006 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/
No fooling around here. 64GB on a flash card is more than I need. That's twice my laptop's current capacity! Sweet mother!]]>Sep 11th 2006 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/
apart from the current prohibitive cost, however, be prepared to have these delayed to market. An Israeli company, Saifun (http://www.saifun.com/) holds patents over the Trapping technology which Samsung is using to achieve these densities. At the moment, they're potentially in violation of patent laws and Saifun already mentioned that they will battle if Samsung does not license the technology or pay royalties.

On the other hand, they're very pleased to see the technology being put to use as they say it 'validates' their work. It's a nice company, by the way, works with Spansion on 4-bit-per-cell technologies; some nice potential applications there.]]>Sep 11th 2006 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 12th 2006 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/

Items/files written to flash- in case of failure, would they be recoverable?

What happens if the buffer gets fried, like in my last Muvo?

Flash cards that are bigger than my laptop's HD...... jeeze]]>Sep 11th 2006 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 11th 2006 8:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/
I want 8 of these in my laptop... 64GB x 8 == 512GB and they are so flat they can just go in the bottom of the case. 8 in a RAID array of course. Even if these guys are slower than a HD, an 8x RAID config will probably exceed HDs. If you think about it, you could do any kind of RAID with this... just use 18 x 32GB in a RAID 5 config for data safety etc..

Frankly, I think flash memory tech - whatever it's based on in the future - will bring parallelism on an unprecedented scale to storage mediums. You can arrange the chips any way you like - it doesn't have to be actual CF cards. So you could also implement any kind of RAID logic you can imagine, 16 parallel devices + 4 XOR CRCs - why not? 128? Sure!

Parallelism in GPUs increased rendering speed by 2x every year, and for pure data storage that is a _much_ easier problem to solve.

First I got rid of all my CDs. Now I can't wait to get rid of all my HDs. I want my data cube.]]>Sep 12th 2006 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/

rutsy5, please read the article and the link. It clearly states it is 32 gigabit NAND flash --> the transfer rate is 32 gigabits.]]>Sep 12th 2006 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/samsung-releases-32-and-64gb-compactflash-cards/Sep 13th 2006 11:22AM
