New Solid State Flash Drives

Beginning early next year, new flash-based solid-state drives will start going into production for use in Toshiba Laptops and other computer rental equipment. This new state of the art technology will use NAND flash memory in the new hard drives as opposed to todays conventional rotating magnetic disk. This new solid-state drive is even said to be able to offer faster boot times and less power consumption than todays hard disk drive.

This comes as great news to those who are in constant need of laptop repairs, because with the replacement of the rotating disks, hardware damage is even less likely to happen within your laptops system. Life expectancy of these new solid-state drives is approximately 1 million hours and they have a transfer speed of 3G bps.

These newly designed Flash Drives are scheduled to debut at the Las Vegas Convention Center "The Venetian" during the Consumer Electronics Show. This new solid state drive shows great promise in the computer world with the possibility of less laptop hardware failure and faster boot times.

Cost Savings and Money Pits In the IT World

In the IT world there are often many opportunities that will arise where you as a Office Manager will have the opportunity to save your business some money. The problem that comes with these opportunities is that often times they become what is called a money pit. These opportunities often have great face value with little to no work involved in the decision which is what makes them so dangerous.

Take for example a real life story in which an Office Manager figured out he could save 20$ a month just by switching ISP's. Thats saving $240 a year which seems like a no brainer. What he failed to recognize was that this ISP company doesn't supply critical Cisco boxes. Having already breached his contract with his previous ISP, the Office Manager has no choice but to buy the new equipment and pay for installation costing his company over $5000.

This is what is referred to as a money pit. When you make quick decisions to make easy money without evaluating true costs. See here to read more about cost saving pitfalls and Five Technology Cost Saving Mistakes.
