New more robust chips for SSD by Samsung and Sun
According to news published at Tech-On, Samsung and Sun are developing new more robust chips to build Solid State Drives (SSD) featuring a higher durability in time.

As already known, one of the main drawbacks of SSD is currently the limited number of read/write cycles, after which the chip becomes damaged. This limitation is the main reason why SSD cannot be used safely in servers, because these machines require a 24/7 operation, reducing heavily the disk life.

According to Samsung, the ability to use SSD also in servers (and the new "server-grade SLC memory" should allow this safely) will also produce a huge power saving (an SSD consumes much less energy than a conventional server HDD).

I bought a Insigina Plasma 42 " inside is all samsung circuitry This model is a Best Buy brand were as Prima is a Future Shop brand as fate whatever would have it ours were identical in ever way even to the remote size shape button assignment both failed within 18 mouths  and as made in China they did not send the modular replacement  boards. I don't suspect this chip old or knew is involved but at $2000.00 it would be nice to have a fix other then the land fill.bowdown

That happens when you buy "cheap", like Insignia or Prima.....
