Watch That Tiny $74 1.5GHz Android-Powered Thumb-Puter In Action Phase-changing memory looks great. It’s supposed to combine the non-volatile nature of flash-based memory with the fantastic speed of DRAM. Now Intel and Numonyx are teasing with advancements in stacking memory layers, news that brings denser PCM closer to markets.
SanDisk’s X4 tech packs four bits of data into each memory cell, compared with the typical one or two bits. That means they’ll be able to far exceed the 32GB limit on SDHC, microSDHC and others, and they’ve started shipping.
On one hand, it’s great to see the SDXC standard—which theoretically tops out at 2TB—flexing its muscles a little but. On the other, I kinda wish Toshiba wouldn’t announce an SD card six months before release.
That 256GB Kingston Datatraveller USB thumbdrive we saw the other day? It’ll set you back $1,299. Availability is apparently “built by request”, so you need to be really sure about your purchase before you drop big ones on it…

The new Extreme SDHC card from SanDisk comes in 4/8/16/32GB capacities and boasts speeds of up to 30MB/s, which SanDisk claims as the world’s fastest.
Not a bad price at all on a mini-PCIe solid-state drive. These are intended for the Eee PC S101, but will work with any machine that can take mini-PCIe add-ons.
Intel’s solid state drives are real fast–$US600 for 80GB kind of fast. It should come as no surprise, then, that they make a mighty quick RAID 0 setup, which does not provide data redundancy but does give twice the data throughput. Hot Hardware’s numbers were a blazing 396MB/s read and 130MB/s write times (the fastest they’ve ever tested), making this quite a speedy 160GB volume. Head over to Hot Hardware for more numbers.

That Eye-Fi technology we were so gung ho about a few months back, the one which adds Wi-Fi to any digital camera, has found a new home in Lexar. The memory card giant is churning out a 2GB Shoot-n-Sync WiFi SD card that works exactly the same as the Eye-Fi Share. But with the Lexar branding, I guess these cards will be guaranteed a much larger audience. They’ll be available in October for $US99.
