Flash Drives Set To Replace Hard Drives

With the latest flash drives capacity matching that of hard drives, only the high prices prevent consumers from making the switch to these storage devices.

Adtron recently unveiled its 2.5-inch flash disk products with storage capacities of 32GB, 96GB and 160GB equalling the capacities of the most notebook hard disk drives and making a viable option for the replacement of desktop PC hard drives dedicated to running the OS.

The emergence of these models looks set to lead a string of new solid state drives that the manufacturers are hoping will take market share away from the currently dominant hard disk drive format. Advances in NAND technology mean that the performances of these new drives are comparable to that of hard disk drives.

Before you rush out and see if you can purchase one of these super slick drives, the 56GB Adtron Flashpak drives retail for around $16,000! Hopefully more affordable products from companies such as Sandisk (they currently have a 32GB SSD for $600) will help push the retail price down making them perfect replacements for the current OS favourite,Western Digital Raptor drives.
