Future Hard Disk Technology

All hard disk manufacturer has been started to create a very sturdy and reliable system. Many has been working on Solid State Disk (SSD) or Flash Based Disk (FBD) module which big enough to handle more than 500 GB of storage. With the cost of manufacturing the SSD and FBD has been lower each day, they are hoping to get it done in near future.

SSD and FBD has already in the market but the price is still high and the capacity is not big enough compared to the traditional hard disk. Like a traditional hard drive, a flash-based drive stores information in the computer-readable language of 0s and 1s. But instead of writing data by flipping magnetic poles on a spinning disk, flash memory just shuttles electrons around on a stamp-size microchip.

With no moving parts (except, of course, the electrons), a flash drive eats less power and is more durable than an ordinary hard drive. It can even survive a 10-foot drop. (A hard drive can wipe out your data if its mechanical arm scratches its disk.)

Based on this technology, if used on laptop will lower the power drained by the system as SSD or FBD use much lower power. It only takes not more than 6 volts of electricity power from the main power supply or battery pack. So it will gives any laptop more operating times than what we can achieve right now.

Hope that we can buy SSD or FBD at price $150 per 1 Terrabyte soon.
