We present the first 512 GB SSD
The Japanese manufacturer Toshiba has just announced it will present an SSD with a capacity of 512 GB on the CES festival to be held in January 2009.
This size is achieved thanks to 43nm manufacturing technique, which allows the production of memory chips smaller than existing techniques. The chips are based on MLC flash and used in the full range of Toshiba SSDs in both 2.5 "and in the 1.8" (capacities go from 64 to 512 GB).
Toshiba announces a life of more than 100 years (one million hours of use) and a data transfer rate 200 MB / s write and 240 MB / s read.
It will go on sale in mid-2009. Toshiba expects that a quarter of all laptops sold in the years 2012 SSDs have.

Benchmark between ext4 file systems, ext3, reiser and xfs.
Meeting interesting entry we can see on the Phoronix website regarding the performance of what will be the replacement for ext3, as btrfs does not leave the ext4 compared to other heavyweights such as XFS, Ext3 and ReiserFS. As always have used the phoronix-test-suite this time in version 1.6 alpha2.
Happy reading.
