Today, PQI is showing off new drives that mimic Samsung’s 32GB Flash-SSD. PQI, with the help of Samsung NAND flash memory chips, has new 64GB IDE and 64GB SATA 2.5″ storage solutions for mobile users. The drives, which are due for release in August, are by nature more rugged, lighter, cooler and more efficient than traditional hard drives with a spinning disc. And best of all, there are absolutely no moving part so no more listening to your hard drive whir while you’re typing away and no more clicking and thrashing as you open up Photoshop or perform other disk-intensive operations.
It’s great to see this finally happen, but I really, really don’t want to know what these will cost.
