Toshiba Developing High-Density 1TB SSD 149
MojoKid writes "A new partnership between Toshiba and Tokyo's Keio University has led to the creation of a new technology that could allow SSDs up to 1TB in size to be made 'with a footprint no larger than a postage stamp.' The report states that the two have been able to integrate 128GB NAND Flash chips and a single controller into a stamp-sized form factor. They've even made it operational with a transfer rates of 2Gbps (or about 250MB/sec) with data transfer that relies on radio communication."

Colour me surprised. I remember hearing once that 95% of all anecdotes are shite.

Listen to us complaining that we don't have flying cars yet. :P
It's because we're afraid of being diddled [imdb.com] by a german scientist with a foot fetish.

Seems very impressive, but what is this phrase "postage stamp". Is this also part of some newfangled technology we may never see? I for on will probably be fine with good old email for a long time to come.

It would take about 200TB to record a lifetime of audio at CD quality.
Sure, but would you want to record your *life* with the empty soundstage and lack of warmth inherent to mere "CD quality" ?
