One news item that caught my eye this week is the announcement of the 1 Terabyte Solid State Drive.
A SSD replaces your hard disk in your PC and it uses similar technology to what is used in flash memory cards (as used in digital camera's), so there are no moving parts, no disk heads to crash, no sound at all from the drive itself when operating.
This is a 2.5" drive that will store one trillion pieces of information, or one thousand Gigabytes.
The company goes onto to say that 4 of these drives will take the same space up as one existing normal Hard disk.
The smaller drives have been around quite a while now, and you can pick them up for around £200 for a 128 Gig.
You will also be able to retro fit them into most of the latest laptops.
These drives also use a lot less power, and are blisteringly fast.
Once again Technology has amazed me with advancing way beyond anyones expectations.
