Flash-Based Hard Drives
News - Hardware News
Written by The Dragon   
sandisk-ssd-small.pngSanDisk's SSD5000 shows that flash-based drives really do offer superior performance, while consuming less power. Still, there are some drawbacks.  SSDs have been around for many years, and were mostly sold by storage vendors such as Bitmicro and others. However, non-volatile memory, usually flash, has been far too expensive to create storage products that can a) offer sufficient capacity for desktop or mobile use and b) be reasonably priced. Although flash-based drives now have capacities between 8 GB and 32 GB, they are still a bit away from the sweet-spot capacity points, which are 160-200 GB in the desktop space and 80-120 GB in the notebook market. A 32-GB flash drive is also three to four times more expensive than a conventional hard drive with three to four times the capacity. So should you still invest in an SSD so soon? The short answer is yes.

TrackIR 4 Pro Point-of-View Headset

This infrared motion tracking system gets clipped onto your headset or visor and allows you to change your POV in-game by merely moving your head. This is a great idea, but does it work, and who is it for?

Natural Point first branched out into the gaming arena in 2001 with its TrackIR 1. Its TrackIR 3 Pro was released on a global scale and was very well-received. Its TrackIR 4 Pro is the newest incarnation of the series and sports a new headset kit. It connects to your computer by USB, so it is functional on virtually any current computer. The only thing that it requires is a headphone set of some kind or visor because the unit must have something to clip onto.

 

The company claims to give extended functionality in games where point-of-view (POV) is integral to game play. Its flagship application for many years has been Microsoft’s Flight Simulator, but also includes support for other gaming genres such as racing titles and even first-person shooters (FPS).
