Seagate planning flash-based solid-state drives
By
Seagate Technology reportedly plans to add solid-state drives based on flash memory chips to its lineup of storage products. The drives are intended to be used in laptops and are available in capacities up to 160GB, according to Seagate’s Web site.
SSDs, as solid-state drives are also known, use flash memory instead of magnetic disks to store information. Flash is a type of non-volatile memory, which means the chips retain stored information when power is off. Other memory types, such as DRAM, lose data when the power goes off.
