"Flash memory maker Samsung is trying to drive a new kind of disk for PCs.
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.
Pricing hasn't been announced yet."
