Samsung today presented a flash memory based replacement for conventional hard disk drives. The solid-state disk (SSD) uses memory chips instead of a mechanical recording system, this ensures lower power consumption and high data rates.

The first SSD with parallel Advanced Technology Attachment interface will ship in capacities up to 16GB. Such a device will feature 16 8Gb memory chips and will likely cost $900 (or less).
