Pure Silicon has introduced the worlds first 2.5" 1 Terabyte solid state drive at 2009 CES (consumer Electronics Show). The drive is higher density than magnetic hard drives of that size. The 1TB Nitro SSD is the most compact SSD per gigabyte
: 15.40GB per cubic centimeter in a 2.5-inch form-factor -- at least three times greater than any other SSD on the market.

That just boggles the mind of my inner computer geek.

It's a whole lot of memory in a very small space with no moving parts! 8)

This is very cool. When will they be building one into a Samson Zoom H4 audio recorder? Or a DVR? Not that I would want the DVR if it didn't burn DVDs too, but still very cool. All at a price I can afford, of course?

The above is a joke, of course. Everybody knows Samson Zooms take flashcards, not drives! Which are now up to 16K!, so if the price would just come down to, like, $30/16K card, I would be buying it. (Right now, the problem with leaving stuff on the card is that the cards are just to expensive to keep buying them, & having to download the data to a hard disc or to cut a CD is just an additional chore, though certainly not an expensive one if you have a computer available somewhere for the purpose. Unlike stuff on hard discs in DVRs, those little flashcards are eminently portable. But if cards get cheap enough you can just leave the stuff on the card.)
