When we come cross hard disk, people always ask does unbreakable hard disk exist? I do saw before unbreakable Pendrive or USB drive, but never seem before an unbreakable hard disk drive.
As per our understanding, hard disk are make from a disk, with the mechanical motor spin it, the read and write head reading and writing data/file into the disk. While the disk fall down, it might cause the read and write head scratch the disk surface while it spin.
In this case, we need to very careful while we carry hard disk; but does there any hard disk are unbreakable? While I heard about a hard disk throw from 4th floor, and still able to use, 1st of my respond will be “bullshit”
After watch this video, the unbreakable hard disk is not just a legend, just like our USB drive, the same material and concept are using to develope this solid state drive.
Solid State Drive (SSD) also known as RAM Drive, with no moving part(unlike hard disk which spin by motor), it is less fragile then hard disk and also silent compare to hard disk drive.
Every item also have it pros and cons; In my opinion, this kind of hard disk really bring more secure to data lover who can’t afford to loss their data. Faster reading speed, fast random access for reading since it does not require any spin and move the read/write head, noiseless, less power consume for lower capacity Solid State Drive.
Other then this, since this technology has just invented, the capacity are lesser, cost are higher also slow writing speed, and SSD need more power to operate for large capacity drive, and the worst part I dislike is the limited write cycles.
As the comparison shows, hard disk require a disk to spin read and write head, while SSD , solid state drive just embed with some micro chip.
Just for your information, this solid state drive technology started at year 2008, and 2009 will be selling aggressively.
Currently I would interested to know which area are selling this solid state drive and how much it cost. Will update at iCalvyn.com IT Engineer’s Blog once I found the price for solid state drive and where can buy it

Still waiting for the SSD price going down before buy one to play.

C-zone selling Transend 64GB SSD (MLC) – RM499
Saw somebody bring it from US and sell here, Intel 80GB X25-M (MLC) – USD590
since it’s MLC, it will be slower and less reliable. SLC for sure will cost a lot more.
Some users complain that it took them 6 hours to complete Vista installation on MLC SSD.
I think buyer should read more preview before purchasing any SSD

cool!
i wonder whether it’s still unbreakable with a lorry on it.

expensive though,but wanna have somethin like that.it still have to stick on the hall of fame.
By Hugo Lim on Mar 2, 2009 | Reply
simply because its…
too small,
too expensive,
as its…
too high-tech,
too not common yet,
as a conclusion, I have been been waiting
too long for the price to drop, ended up buying conventional hardisk.
hahah! anyway, let SSD pick up first, then we will see it everywhere with dirt cheap price like what hardisks are now

Lorry pass over on it should be no issue too, as long the hard shelf not broken and damage the internal chip. since pen drive also no problem with it already with a good case

Wow, this SDD is freaking cool!!!

i have IBM X30..could i change it ram and hard disk to a bigger size? What the type that suitable for my laptop?

SSDs need to get cheaper and we need larger capacities. I wont be using SSDs anytime soon. Will be sticking to SATA for my personal computers and SCSI for my servers.

Ok, what i don’t get is that someone invented a (SSD)??? About fucking time, I’ve been using those thumb drive that are 2mm thick and 2cm long holding now 16g for the past 4 years!!!!
of course they were smaller in GB at the begining.
Now if i put these little stick in line and fill a laptop HD sized box, i could literaly hold 24x sticks (24×16gb = 384 GB)
that’s just behind the 500GB currently being sold, so why the hell don’t we have these already on the market, and for cheap too (1×16gb stick drive is about 15$) that would be like twice the price of conventional HD with a garanty to last longer!!
I do not know the speed on these little thingy so maybe that would be the problem, but only a problem for OS and shit, should be a problem for external use, which is when we break hard drives anyways!!
some one spoke about electricity usage??
