The link above will take you to an article at The Inquirer. More of a teaser than an article, really. I've been thinking the same way for a long time now, and I find it gratifying that Samsung is now thinking the same way.
For years, I have advocated flash memory as a key technology for portable computing. There would be no need for a hard drive, if we did things correctly. And battery life would increase dramatically because storage would only use power when reading or writing and even at those times, much less than any hard drive consumes.
Flash memory is slow, but so are laptop and tablet hard drives. And flash is getting faster. Read and write times are dropping, as is power consumption. It's only a matter of time, I think.
