We’ve been talking about flash drives a lot lately here on jkOnTheRun, no doubt because of the promise these drives bring for mobile devices due to increased battery life and performance. Of course this has been fueled by my purchase of Flash, the Samsung Q1 SSD with that very same drive pre-installed by Samsung. Tom’s Hardware has published one of their famous in-depth reviews of the Samsung 32 GB flash drive with lots of benchmarks that compare the flash drive’s performance against numerous conventional spinning drives. It is an interesting read if you are curious what a flash drive can do for mobile devices. From the review:
When you receive a device that can provide superior physical and performance specifications while standing to augment existing technology in so many areas, where do you start? Samsung hints toward varied target applications including POS terminals, notebook/sub-notebooks, cache based performance enhancement, in-flight entertainment… the possibilities seem endless. I only wish my notebook had two onboard ATA slots, because 30 GB aren’t enough any more these days.
