28 May 2008
Photographers and digital camcorder users may be interested to hear about a new storage solution reportedly on offer from Samsung.
It is reported that the company plans to launch an SSD memory card that is capable of storing 256GB of data - despite being only 2.5 inches long, according to Channel News.
Citing Techworld, the article states that further to this the South Korean manufacturer could follow this up with a 1.8-inch SSD card that can cope with a similar amount of data.
It is noted that Samsung plans production of both cards this year and according to a spokesman for the firm, both should have a great deal to offer digital camera users.
“SSDs typically have faster read performance, the endurance can be an advantage because of no moving parts,” the spokesperson said.
Following its demise as a high definition home video format in February this year, it has preciously been speculated that Toshiba’s HD DVD format could resurface as a data storage solution.
