Toshiba announced
that it will showcase a 512GB solid-state drive (SSD) at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next month, with shipments of this large SSD in the second quarter of 2009. These NAND-flash-based solid state drives (SSD) will be the industry's first 2.5-inch 512-gigabyte SSD and features fast read/write times and reliable performance for laptops/notebooks, and other equipment.

In addition to the 2.5-inch, 512GB drive, the 43nm NAND SSD family also includes capacities of 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB, offered in 1.8-inch or 2.5-inch drive enclosures or as SSD Flash Modules. The drives feature a maximum sequential read speed of 240MB per second (MBps) and maximum sequential write speed of 200MBps.

Trickle Trickle Little TrickleStar

October 29, 2008

TrickleStar, a Hong Kong-based manufacturer, will be making the U.S. debut of the "world-first" power-saving device.

TrickleStar's products address the issue of standby power consumed by PC appliances and TV accessories by stopping the flow of standby power when in "standby" mode.

The TrickleStar PC Standby Power Saver connects to a PC via a standard USB cable and detects the power status of a PC via the USB port. When a PC is "on," the product will switch "on" all accessory devices. Conversely, when a PC is switched "off," it will switch "off" all accessory devices.

I like it. Let's get some of these soon.
