  • Sun targets rivals with SSD-based storage

    On the reading side, as data is pulled off disks for sending out and across the network, the SSDs complement DRAM (dynamic RAM), Lovell said.Unlike either form of RAM, SSDs can be economically deployed at huge capacities.
  • MSI's Atom-based laptop set for US launch

    The Linux version also comes with less DRAM (dynamic RAM), 512MB versus 1GB for the XP laptop.There will also be several hardware configurations users can choose from that can make the laptop more or less expensive.
  • Protection offered against chilly hacks

    The vendor HyBlue says it can prevent the "cold boot" encryption hack discovered by Princeton researchers with a laptop security product announced on Tuesday.The cold boot vulnerability allows hackers to steal encryption keys from dynamic RAM
  • HP boffins build intelligent memory

    The technology, called memristor, could allow computers to make decisions by understanding past patterns of data it has collected, similar to human brains collecting and understanding a series of events.For example, a memristor circuit could be…

  • Encryption - the 'cold boot' hack explained

    Newer DRAM [chips] held their information for a shorter period - still plenty long for an attacker, but shorter. If we sprayed cooling spray [from an inverted can of common electronics-dusting spray], which gets to about minus 50 degrees Celsius…
  • Implementing datacentre flash arrays

    MFT requires about 0.12 percent of the drive's capacity in DRAM. Thus a 32GB drive needs about 40 Megabytes of ram to manage our mapping tables. Dumitru said about the Reger interview: "I agree with his assessment, but think that the future is…
  • Does Flash make your PC go faster?

    Japanese supplier M-Cell has added a 1GB DRAM cache to a 2.5-inch hard drive. This makes a 5400rpm 2.5-disk perform faster than a non-cache 7200rpm 3.5-inch hard drive.DRAM is much faster than NAND or OR flash and also more expensive.PC World…
