Solid-state drives (SSD) Although generally regarded as hard to replace the machine (HDD) of Future Star, but also a number of deficiencies still exist, the program is not perfect. Now a British company called DataSlide made the choice of a new "Hard Rectangular Drive" (HRD), temporarily referred to as "Hard Rectangular Drive".
Hard Rectangular Drive which is also in the traditional mechanical hard drives based on the change from the retention of micro-electro-mechanical systems, such as perpendicular recording media, medium, but it does not need the disc rotation, replaced by read and write in two layers placed between the double-sided magnetic material, which is similar to a sandwich structure of the sandwich, and a result of reading and writing layer and disc name are rectangular.
In the disk floppy disk stacked rectangular body, the upper and lower layers on both sides of the read and write is fixed array of read-write heads, with the disc surface, respectively, the two direct contact. The whole "sandwich" is packaged in a metal casing the last years, from the outside looks like the same size 3.5-inch hard drive.
Mechanical hard drive is now through the disc spins, head of mobile to read and write data, Hard Rectangular Drive is the head intact, through the piezoelectric actuators will be the precise control of disk read and write the region need to move to the bottom of the head, and the use of very rigid tantalum carbide (TaC) lubricating coating to protect the surface of the disc.
Read-write heads on the floor is still only 64, the need for vertical and horizontal movement to the corresponding disk read-write head and the operation, but in theory could be put millions of heads, which constitute a very large scale planar array to read and write , as corresponding to each head of a sector dedicated to reading and writing the data, there was no seek time, and speed can be imagined, and to read and write is symmetrical, unlike mechanical hard drives, solid-state hard drives are is much slower to write.
DataSlide claimed that the capacity of Hard Rectangular Drive can do ranging from 80GB to 2TB, which could give rise to 500MB / s data transfer rate and the read-write 160000 IOPS performance, while power consumption less than 4W, than mechanical hard drives and Solid hard drive are low, so high performance per watt; At the same time It also has the same hard drive and mechanical reliability and even better, unlike the existence of NAND flash memory device as "wear and tear" issues and software compatibility issues.
Currently DataSlide new storage technology for such commercial uses to assess and identify suitable storage vendors to provide technology licensing, so the actual product to see it still takes time also.

Lenovo S12 Netbook evaluation
From the end of 2007 to today, in less than two years, we have seen the rapid development of the netbook market may be in 1 years ago for us netbook or a “rare thing”, but now when you walk in the street , perhaps with a lot of people will find you passed netbook.
Some people say that the transition is only a netbook product, when the mainstream thin and light performance after lowering the price, netbook will no longer exist. However, some people also had to refute this point of view, they think that this netbook market segmentation by product, which will be in the form of its own and continue to develop. No matter how you say, we believe that the course of development from the netbook, it will be of the form tend to be more traditional notebook.

Early netbook screen is only 7 inches or 8.9 inches, while the whole market with the development and enhancement of consumer demand, greater netbook screen has gradually become the mainstream products. Until now, manufacturers have introduced a number of first-line 12-inch netbook, and today’s hero - Lenovo S12 is a measure such products.
Lenovo IdeaPad S12 not only has a 12-inch big screen, and comes with a full-size keyboard. In addition, this machine has a built-launched VIA Nano processor. And traditional compared to the Intel Atom processor, Nano processor with how kind of advantage? Who is who in the end their strong weak?
Introduced the overall appearance
S9 from the earliest to the current S12, Lenovo IdeaPad S series thin fashion line has been walked, and the development of the screen size is also increasing. First glance, this Lenovo IdeaPad S12 and the traditional 12-inch notebooks do not have much difference, but more light fuselage. This machine uses the body cap Imprint Printing process produced, its wholly-black male body is more appropriate to use.
Lenovo IdeaPad S12 are black, white two color choices for consumers. Through further observation, we found that the fuselage of the following top enamel coating printed with concentric circles of Takifugu texture, this body design enables a more stylish overall look.
Standard resolution: 1280 x 800
This machine uses a 12-inch mirror screen, the standard resolution of 1280 x 800. Due to the limited screen size and resolution is too high, displayed on the screen fonts and images is relatively small, poor eyesight may be some consumers seem laborious.
As we described before, this machine is built VIA Nano processor, we see that in the right part of the fuselage with the corresponding labeling. In addition, the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 support Dolby Headphone technology, according to official presentations, the technology enables users to wear any pair of regular headphones and listen to music, watching movies or playing video games can feel the 5.1-channel surround sound, to improve hearing comfort, reduce the “auditory fatigue.”
