Solid State Drives are advancing at a steady pace but now SanDisk have made the announcement of their new so called “ExtremeFFS (Flash File System)”. Its basically a new file system, but it uses page-based methods so all the locations of data on the drive wont be in just one place. This means that the new drives can achieve random write speeds of around 100 times faster compared with today’s current hard drive technology.
Now SanDisk hopes that with this new found technology coupled with other upcoming features they will lead the adoption of SSDs in computers and laptops. These hard drives would be a nice addition to the new and upcoming Windows 7 as unlike with Vista, Windows 7 will optimize the use of all storage space. SanDisk are expecting to ship the drives in 2009.
This is probably something to really look forward to. Especially for extreme PC enthusiasts.. But I don’t think these new drives will be cheap! As currently a 64GB Solid State Drive costs around $300!! I wonder what these will cost? Your thoughts and opinions are appreciated!
