Solid State Drives

The new kid on the block..

A bit difficult to find in Sri Lanka, and also over priced still elsewhere.

 

[lankavee]

have you ever thought of using multiple SD cards ganged-up building a SSD drive? A company called PhotoFast has done it, worth a look...

monawada bun me?

cheeper option to Memory Stick Pro/Duo

Same company also produce duel microSD adapter for MS Duo. Adapter can be baught in ebay for dirty cheep (1 dollar with free shipping to LK), probably there can be deals with two SDs as a bundle.

"druda thati"
Hard drives without moving parts. meaning a bunch of memory cards stack up to make a SATA hard drive. No noise, no heat, and now also faster.

watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96dWOEa4Djs&feature=fvst
Supper fast computer with a bundle of SSDs. However, the bunch of SSDs used should have easily cost over 10,000 USD at current price (yes $10,000), so it is beyond our easy reach at the moment.

If your objective is less noise, then another SSD option using RAM cards

pure silicon computer (no moving parts)

For some environments, and applications, noise is an enemy. However, if a PC is to be used, how badly you wanted
the machine makes noise from fans and harddisks, while they are spinning generating mechanical noise. Air-flow also
can contribute significantly to the nose inside the PC.

So the option is to build Solid State computer, without moving parts. Here is how;

1) fan-less CPU+Motherboard. (indicative price on ebay Rs 40,000)
Via EPIA series embedded boards or JETWay boards

2) Memory
Any DDR series would work depending on the motherboard. This is anyway noiseless

3) Hard Disk
SSD comes into play. A 250GB drive would easily cost over USD 600 on ebay.

Alternatively, can use Memory Stack drives, CF-SATA drives etc. if a huge drive space is not critical.

4) Power Supply

There are many fanless PSU units out there. Bellow pictured unit is on ebay for US$ 175

WELCOME TO THE NOISELESS WORLD!
