Toshiba Unveils Post Stamp Sized 1TB SSD Storage
February 14, 2010 | Portable Storage, Toshiba | Comments OffThere are many reasons to get people interested SSD (speed, power requirements, rigidity) and a major reason they are not (the price), but here’s another huge advantage to the column more.

Remarkably, Tosh and Keio have managed to cram 128 NAND flash chips and a controller in the form factor and he had to run two cities gigabits per second (250MB/sec) puts it right up there with the most Quick DSS consumption available. The good news does not stop there either, since the disc is also 70 percent more power efficient than typical SSD and the small size is claimed to make it less expensive to produce.
Is there a downside? Potentially, it could encounter a problem with the industry standards for form factors required to obtain approval in order to achieve mass adoption. This is the main rival here would probably newly approved MSat SSD form factor based on the mini map that Samsung is about the size of a card. Despite this, the stamp not listed as postage-sized drive still has a significant size advantage, and, more importantly, Toshiba and Keio University, said the prototype would lead to a production version ready by 2012. All this raises an important question: Who will be the first laptop Maker brave enough to file the slot 2.5in disk …?
