Flash harddrive at 176GB

Flashhårddisk is hardly something you hear about very often and when it comes to us regular consumers there are no flashharddrive as this one. It’s namel the flash memory manufacturer M-Systems that has launched the world’s largest flash harddrive that can store up to 176GB and via the Ultra320 SCSI interface reach extrordinary transferspeeds. FFD Ultra320 SCSI uses the regular 3.5″ format and at the moment an 80-pin connection.

 

M-Systems writes in its pressrelease that th hardrive is aimed towards environments that require high stability and performance, such as space research, military, tele-communication and video servers. iIn other terms nothing you use with your regular PC, although we wouldn’t mind that you could. There are no price information available at the time. Alas it would have been really interesting to see what this beast would cost, since atleast we are prepared to pay for accesstimes at ridicoulusly low 0.02ms.
