Samsung on Tuesday announced a solid state disk drive that promises to completely eliminate hard drive delays on PCs. The disk is designed to take advantage of Microsoft's "Ready Boost" feature in Windows Vista and will be available "around" the time the new operating system launches.
Wouldn't it be nice, if you did not have to wait for the hard drive to start spinning every time you launch your PC out of its sleep state or switch between open applications? Several upcoming NAND flash technologies are designed to address that problem and promise users a substantial boost in system performance, while lowering the power consumption of a computer system at the same time.
