SanDisk Introduces 32GB Flash-Based Notebook Drive

The hard drive is a critical component of every modern computer system. It loads and stores practically everything about the computer, from the OS to all the programs to every data bit and document. Yet the hard drive is based on a mechanical spinning disk system that is ultimately prone to failure, usually due to the stress of heat and motion. Laptop hard drives typically take more abuse than their desktop counterparts and therefore have an even higher rate of failure. Fortunately, SanDisk has taken the first steps to potentially ending all of this. The company has developed a new solid-state 32GB hard drive for notebooks that is based entirely on NAND flash RAM.
