Fabrik Keeps Your Hard Drive Green

It’s nice to know that even the computer peripherals are now becoming earth friendly. Just like what Fabrik has created. He had designed Fabrik’s Simple Tech Turbo. It is a hard drive designed with rippled side to disperse heat and will eventually terminate the need of a fan. Fabrik’s simple tech turbo is made from a recycled aluminum and bamboo. This hard drive will surely be a hit in the market, since most of our fellowmen are already earth conscious nowadays. I would love to own one once available in our market. This will save energy and will save the earth.

LG develops super-thin e-paper

LG Philips has developed the world's first electronic paper. The e-paper is just 0.3 mm thin, and to be energy efficient the display only uses power when the image changes. And, like every other display ever created, marks another step in man's never-ending quest to find more ways to look at porn.

Disc Pod Rom

The Disc Pod Dispenser laods up a spindle of blank CDs or DVD's and ejects them out one at a time at the push of a button. It costs $14 and does the same job as if you just grabbed a disc off the top, meaning if you buy this you're officially the laziest person on the planet. And me? Well I'm officially the handsomest.

Wall-Mountable Wireless Printer

This is a wall mountable wireless printer designed by Ransmeier & Floyd. It can sit on a surface or hang on the wall and displays printouts like a picture in a frame. Considering how flat screen displays and wireless laptops have evolved it seems weird this is the first flat-printer concept I've ever seen. Unless the one I invented counts. Which it shouldn't, because I just accidentally ran over my printer with my car. It didn't flatten so much as it exploded.

Solid State Drive, an alternative Hard Disk Drive

When we come cross hard disk, people always ask does unbreakable hard disk exist? I do saw before unbreakable Pendrive or USB drive, but never seem before an unbreakable hard disk drive।

As per our understanding, hard disk are make from a disk, with the mechanical motor spin it, the read and write head reading and writing data/file into the disk. While the disk fall down, it might cause the read and write head scratch the disk surface while it spin.
In this case, we need to very careful while we carry hard disk; but does there any hard disk are unbreakable? While I heard about a hard disk throw from 4th floor, and still able to use, 1st of my respond will be “bullshit”

After watch this video, the unbreakable hard disk is not just a legend, just like our USB drive, the same material and concept are using to develope this solid state drive.
Solid State Drive (SSD) also known as RAM Drive, with no moving part(unlike hard disk which spin by motor), it is less fragile then hard disk and also silent compare to hard disk drive.
Every item also have it pros and cons; In my opinion, this kind of hard disk really bring more secure to data lover who can’t afford to loss their data. Faster reading speed, fast random access for reading since it does not require any spin and move the read/write head, noiseless, less power consume for lower capacity Solid State Drive.
Other then this, since this technology has just invented, the capacity are lesser, cost are higher also slow writing speed, and SSD need more power to operate for large capacity drive, and the worst part I dislike is the limited write cycles।

As the comparison shows, hard disk require a disk to spin read and write head, while SSD , solid state drive just embed with some micro chip.
Just for your information, this solid state drive technology started at year 2008, and 2009 will be selling aggressively.

Hard drive

Specifications
The cache memory keeps the data accessing the disk more often to improve overall performance. It is therefore important to have as much as possible ...! The cache size varies from 8 to 32MB per disk drive.
The different speeds of rotationThe speed of rotation of the disk determines the access time is the time that the playhead will need to go to the location of the data. The different speeds are:
5400 rpm (now reserved for laptops, some can provide excellent performance)
7200 rpm (the speed the most prevalent. It is also well integrated into the hard drives for laptops in hard disks for computers fixed)
10 000 rpm (already more scarce it is very popular with gamers who take one or two for the rise in RAID0)
15 000 rpm (restricted servers these drives offer performance out of the ordinary with access time neared 3ms)
