Joining global efforts to bring affordable personal computers to millions of people in developing nations, SanDisk announced the SanDisk uSSD 5000 solid state drive, which can be used as an economical substitute for hard disk drives in sub-$250 PCs. Among the first computers using uSSD solid state drives will be the Intel-powered classmate PC, intended for educational markets in emerging nations.

It was only some years ago that we all shake our heads with the introduction of a ‘high capacity’ card like the 1GB flash memory card. Today we have reach the point that 16GB has become reality and even 32MB storage capacity is waiting around the corner. The flash memory card is not only being used for a digital camera; the mobile market has become more important - at least in sales numbers – and the evolution is still continuing. New flash memory card formats, greater transfer speeds and higher storage capacities are key details that also changes the storage media for a digital camcorder. More and more camcorders begin to use the SD format card to store their digital movies; who could have thought of that ten years ago? But it is not only flash memory that will be showcased at the IFA 2007; think of HD-Video, Blu-Ray and high-end hard drives. Like we have said last year; 2007 is an interesting year for the storage market!
