It might not be BlackBerry’s “Defence Department” trusted level of email, but the PlayBook finally gets its OS 2.0 and native email, calendaring and more, adding a new lease of life to RIM’s trim tablet.
The company has opted to use a USB interface
rather than ATA or SATA, which would have allowed manufacturers to
readily employ the drives as direct replacements for rotating magnetic
disks.
Intel expects the parts to be used in "servers, emerging market
notebooks and low-cost, fully featured PCs. In addition, it will be
used in Intel embedded solutions for routers and point of sale
terminals."
Unlike the commonplace 'thumb drives' the Z-U130 Value Solid State
Drives come as small printed circuit boards designed for internal
mounting.
Intel claims high performance - write speeds up to 20M/sec - and high
reliability with mean time between failure of five million hours. "this
higher performing solid state drive is a faster storage alternative
that speeds through common PC or embedded application operations such
as locating boot code, operating systems and commonly accessed
libraries," Intel officials said.
Price is important for small storage devices, and Intel claims the
Z-U130 family will soon be cheaper than 1.8in drives of similar
capacities.
The 8G model won't go into production until the end of 2008, but higher
capacity versions are expected within a year or so.
