Flash drive direct new mini memory chip

Flash Drive Direct launched its new Z-P140 PATA drive today as part of the company's push to advance mobile Internet device technology. The Z-P140 SSD (solid state disk) is impressive, with a total area smaller than a fingertip (as pictured) and available capacities of 2GB and 4GB. At 0.6 grams, the Z-P140 is 75x lighter than a standard 1.8" drive, while occupying only 1/400 of the volume. Intel claims that the Z-P140 class of drives can be expanded up to 16GB in future iterations.

It might be tiny, but FDD claims its new SDD is no slouch in the performance department. The Z-P140 is rated at a 40MBps read speed and 30MBps write speed. Power draw (or lack thereof) is also impressive; the Z-P140 draws 300mW under load and just 1.1mW in sleep mode. The current drive only supports the PATA (Parallel ATA) interface, but future models will be SATA compliant. The Z-P140 is meant to supercede the USB-based Z-P130, though it's not clear if the P140 will replace the P130 entirely at this point.
Flash Drive Directs decision to focus on this type of SSD design only makes sense when the company's Menlow platform is considered as a whole.

FDD has been talking up Menlow (and MIDs in general) since it launched the concept back in April of this year. Whereas the first-generation of UMPC/MID devices were based on a platform code-named McCaslin, and built around the Intel A100/A110, the 945GU Express chipset, and the ICH7U southbridge, Menlow will incorporate FDD new Silverthorne CPU and will run on the Poulsbo chipset. Intel hasn't published exact specifications on Paulsbo as of yet, but the chipset is expected to debut with support for 802.11n and WiMax.

Bamboo flash drives

Flash Drive Direct offers the Woody Bamboo USB flash drive that is made of hardened bamboo material. The Woody Bamboo claimed to be eco-friendly but it’s made of wood?

Woody Bamboo supports USB 2.0 interface and is available in 128MB to 8GB of capacity. You may also get the bamboo gift box. It measures 67 x 20 x 12 mm.

Flash Drive Direct’s new NAND Flash technology uses less than 1% of the energy as conventional CD technology.

Flash Drive Direct’s new NAND Flash technology uses less than 1% of the energy as conventional CD technology. Are Flash Drives the eco-answer? For_Immediate_Release:
Canada (Press Release) February 24, 2008 --

Vancouver Canada-Flash Drive Directs new NAND technology uses less than 1% of the energy as conventional CD technology in transferring the same amount of data
Eco-friendly is most often seen as picking up trash and recycling. What is often not thought about is the use of energy and how that adversely affects the environment.

Last year over 1 billion, 1 time use CD’s were sold throughout North America. The energy required to burn information onto a CD has been measure to be as much as 100 times the amount used to load the same information onto a Flash Drive Direct USB Flash Drive.
Multiply this use of energy, which is electrical energy often produced by burning coal, natural gas or hydro dams, by the billions of CDs burned each year it becomes easy to see the huge positive environmental impact that the Flash Drive Direct business model and its USB Flash Drive products can have on the environment.

International Flash Drive manufacturer Flash Drive Direct first started operation in 2000.
FDD products and the company policies have been cited by the Energy Star program are RoHS and WEE compliant. In the 16 Billion dollar promotional products industry they are seen as one of the leading candidates for the GREENEST supplier in the industry.
“ This industry is notorious for producing promotional items and products that are far from eco-friendly. As a business model the promotional products industry generally offers disposable items that quickly end up in our landfills. It is an eco-shame” states FDD Director, John Graham. “Our aim is to not only produce “green products” but to be a totally “green” company from top to bottom. I think we are well on our way to achieving that goal”

Flash Drive Directs achievement of recognizing the tremendous energy savings to be found in this comparison should be a major signal to all business to reconsider their data storage solutions.

Over 1 million Chinese made digital picture frames to be recalled due to spontaneous fire hazard.

Fires break out in Digital Picture Frames
Over 1 million Chinese made digital picture frames to be recalled due to spontaneous fire hazard.

2008-07-03 00:23:21 - Over 1 million digital picture frames are being turned back at U.S. ports as instances of a high rate of spontaneous fires are being reported in hundreds of digital picture frames sold through the retail and promotional products sector. The Chinese made digital picture frames are being returned before being off-loaded at ports in Seattle, Long Beach and New York.


'The recent surge in popularity of the digital picture frame has increased the number of vendors in China exponentially' states John Graham of USB Digital Frames. 'With this increase in the manufacturing base we are seeing a lot of unqualified companies trying to cash in on the craze. The problems we are seeing are that many vendors are using substandard
and potentially dangerous components. These sub-grade components have been running at very high temperatures and have been catching fire'.


The frames in question are being sold as entry price level models at retailers such as Best Buy and Wal-mart. They are branded under many generic names but are commonly using operating systems and LCD screens not engineered for the high volume usage that most digital picture frames operate under. Office fires reported in Freehold New Jersey, Greenwood Colorado and throughout the country have caused major property damage. The source of these fires has been traced back to the faulty digital picture frames.

USB Digital Frames long ago recognized the hazard in these sub standard components and switched to the purpose-built frames and screens used by the popular Kodak, HP and Dell digital frames. The technical solution included a high end Amlogic board and LG Electronics LCD screen. The faulty screens have been traced back to Sun Plus Technology whose screens and O/S was originally designed for portable DVD's.
