EasyCo Execs Present Managed Flash Technology at LinuxWorld 2008 - MarketWatch

Managed Flash Technology (MFT) significantly improves processing speeds of solid state disks (Flash memory engineered to look like a disk drive to the processor). This is possible with EasyCo's technology that solves a long-standing problem of traditional disk drives: random writes. Dubbed The 300,000 RPM Disk Drive, MFT combines SSD technology with a patent-pending drive management layer resulting in disk performance that is 10 to 30 times faster than 15K RPM disk drives when working with random IO operations.

It's great to see the flash memory division get bigger and bigger. After seeing the SDHC and hearing how Dvorak likes em too, I say wonderful! What about using these for server situations? I'm not too sure about that but that's the way this company is leaning...Click the link above for more.

SanDisk says Vista isn't tweaked for solid-state drives - The Tech Report

"As soon as you get into Vista applications in notebook and desktop, you start running into very demanding applications because Vista is not optimized for flash memory solid state disk,"

Of course Hard disk drives will be around for a little while longer, but I still feel MSFT is still missing the boat here. With every other Company making smaller and smaller portable pc's, what will they do when/if everyone switches to SSD? Granted the only big advatage to Solid State Drives are their durability right now. Soon though as we see with SDHC technology, more memory will be available in smaller spaces. To have Bloated Vista on anything besides a desktop would be a waste of time right now. I hope they figure it out before it's too late, XP isn't the latest and greatest, it just the only safe choice presently...
