Mini memory banks
Article Abstract:
Flash, or 'solid state,' storage may gradually offer a viable alternative to the conventional hard disk storage format. Flash devices use solid-state microchips with no moving parts. They are extremely small and flat, and use around a tenth of the power of a normal spinning drive. Flash storage also has the advantage of being non-volatile, ensuring that data cannot be lost. The main disadvantage with Flash storage is cost, with Flash devices costing almost $10 a megabyte in their smallest forms for personal electronics.
