Solid state mass storage is gradually becoming a reality. Though still prohibitively expensive for most applications, non-rotating solid state mass storage “drives” are coming. But with the adoption of this new and very different technology comes many questions: Do solid state drives have a battery to keep them “alive” a motherboard’s BIOS RAM? Do they need to be defragmented? How secure are they? What sort of data recovery procedures might be necessary?
Leo and I will examine the technology of solid state drives and answer all those questions, and more.
