Hard Drives To Commit Suicide: Samsung Brings In 32GB NAND SSD

Samsung has announced the 32GB NAND flash-based solid state disk (SSD), changing the way we used to look at storage. So, the question is: Has the time come for the rotating, noicy and power consuming hard drives to pack their bags?The fate of hard drive depends on future developments, but it is certain that Samsung has opened a window (and a pretty big one) for the entry of the NAND flash memory into the notebook and mobile PC market.The 32GB Flash-SSD is free from any motor or mechanical parts and weighs about half as much as a comparably-sized hard drive. The data reading capacity of the drive is three times that of 'traditional' hard drives and it writes 1.5 times faster than conventional hard drives.
