Is there a particular reason to prefer FLASH over a 2.5" HD other than noise level?
My understand is that CompactFlash cards will NEVER be as good as a real hard drive because they arent designed for the kind of random access that hard drives are. Im therefore puzzled why people bother considering many 2.5" drives are almost silent.
maybe this is why.
Samsung's PRAM features the fast processing speed of RAM for its operating functions combined with the non-volatile features of flash memory for storage, giving it the nickname: perfect RAM
A key benefit of Samsung's PRAM is its extremely fast performance. Because Samsung's PRAM can rewrite data without having to first erase data previously accumulated, it is effectively 30-times faster than conventional flash memory. Incredibly durable, Samsung's PRAM is also expected to have at least 10-times the life span of flash memory.never say never. I can't wait to replace HD's with something that doesn't have mechanical parts (that always break down)
