The company announced Monday that it has developed a "solid-state disk" using flash memory for PCs, which traditionally have used hard drives. The 1.8-inch NAND flash-based disks, which will be available in August, will have a capacity of up to 16GB. The first disks will target sub-notebooks and tablet PCs.

The company said the solid state disk is made up of 8-gigabit chips and consumes power at a rate of less than 5 percent of current hard-disk drives.

The disks will read data at 57MB per second (megabytes per second) and write at 32MB per second, according to Samsung.

The disks will also come with a hard-drive style interface, making it easier for manufacturers to use them in PCs.

I'd like to see drives like this in iPod type devices. I'm always a bit afraid that the HDD in my 4G iPod will bite it.

4G (and every other regular iPod) uses a 1.8" drive. The only bad luck for me is the price on the flash drive
