512GB Solid State Disks on the Way

Viper95 writes "Samsung has announced that it has developed the world's first 64Gb(8GB) NAND flash memory chip using a 30nm production process, which opens the door for companies to produce memory cards with upto 128GB capacity"

Four times the memory in three days

It's not a dupe. The previous article [slashdot.org] said that 64 Gb chips could be combined into a 128 GB device. Now they can combine 64 Gb chips into a 512 GB device. A huge advance!

There are times......

[aneeshm]

......when I think that porn, or some equivalent thereof, has been responsible for all human progress throughout history.

Re:512GB?

[gEvil (beta)]

You could use the same logic to conclude that 512 terabyte solid-state media is on the way.

Have you considered getting a job as a futurist? At this point I can guarantee that your track record will be better than many of the ones actually out there.

Maybe human beings are just porn's way of making more porn.

War also provides a big push. Now imagine how fast progress would be with more military porn.

Hey, sailor...

iPhone

[imputor]

So when does the 512GB iPhone come out?

Now imagine how fast progress would be with more military porn.

Porn and War are the two major competing drivers of all progress. It kinda brings new light to the phrase "Make Love not War."

Store a lot of data in places where there is constant vibrations and heat issues (Iraq)

Yes, you could certainly say that there are some bad vibs in Iraq.

Re:another reason to hate Vista...

[ColdWetDog]

Does everything in the damn world have to be blamed on Vista? Next on Slashdigg: The fires in California - Vista responsible?

Well, umm. Vista takes up more processor time, runs the computer hotter.

Computer running hotter means more power used.

Power generation contributes to global warming.

Global warming contributes to increased forest fires.

Therefore, it follows:

Vista is responsible for the fires in California.

What could possibly be more logical?

Re:Cost?

[jlarocco]

Not only that, these drives are easy to lose and misplace. Incompetently losing massive amounts of data has never been so easy!

You're fucking kidding me...

[PMBjornerud]

It's no so easy to use the 1,000,000=1mb with this system. Unless they do it anyway.

Are you telling me that 64Gb is not exactly 64.000.000.000 bits?

Ugh. And I though that they had seen the light and decided to go in base 10 and count the actual bits.
