Fujitsu Computer Systems unveiled two new models in its notebook line that come with something special — solid-state hard drives that make the computers more durable for work in the field, according ...

Solid-state hard drives trade the rapidly spinning magnetic platters and multiple moving read/write heads of a traditional hard drive for a bank of the same type of memory chips used in USB drives, ...

They made their mark by appearing in the trendiest ultraportables, as a high-priced option. Now solid-state drives are coming off their rarefied shelf space. Brooke Crothers writes about mobile ...

At this last January's CES, we got a look at a bunch of ultra-mobile PCs, some of which have solid state (100 percent chip-based) "hard drives" in them (solid state drives or "SSDs"). Most notable of ...

Three years ago, I wrote a story comparing hard disk drives to solid state drives (SSDs) based on capacity, performance and cost. A lot has changed in three years. For one, laptops are quickly being ...

The first time I was briefed on developments that would lead to solid-state hard drives for laptops I thought it was such a great idea I couldn’t wait to get one. Improve speed, extend battery life ...

Frustrated with slow processing rates, many organizations are looking to switch from hard disk drive (HDD) storage devices to solid-state drive (SSD) technology. But questions of SSD capacity and cost ...

Solid-state disk (SSD) drives are all the rage among techies. The drives use non-volatile NAND flash memory, meaning there are no moving parts. Because there is no actuator arm and read/write head ...

Secondary hard drives are commonly added to a computer to increase the data storage capacity, but they can also be used to improve system performance. Hard drives are the slowest part of the computer ...
