Microsoft and Samsung showed off a prototype hard drive on Monday that can record data while idling, a twist that has the potential to significantly cut power consumption in notebooks.
Intel will begin building flash-memory drives into servers in 2008, starting with 32GB models that the company promises will boost system performance.
Intel entered the burgeoning clean-tech sector on Monday by creating SpectraWatt, a spinoff company that will manufacture solar cells, following IBM's latest foray into solar technology
The new chips, described by the company as entirely Core 2 Duo-compatible but with a tenth of the power requirements, will first reach the market in a fleet of partner mobile Internet devices (MIDs) in late May or early June.
Disk drives have only recently begun to be measured in terabytes, but MetaRam CEO Fred Weber is talking about putting terabytes of memory into servers.
Writing a blog about mobile technology on 28 April almost necessitates holding forth on CDMA shutoff. But if you ask me, there's something far more disruptive happening in the wireless world right now.
Is it a truck? Is it a giant portable wind tunnel? Well, yes -- but it's also a mobile datacentre with a maximum capacity of 4.1 petabytes of storage, which would easily hold an awful lot of high-res Superman footage.

Multicore processors have been around since 2005, when Intel shipped its first dual-core processor and the advantages of many cores have been widely touted, but a working model for costing software to work with them is still on its way.
With US cellular operator Sprint Nextel and WiMax provider Clearwire suspending their partnership to build a new nationwide wireless network using WiMax, the future looks precarious for the much-hyped technology that was supposed to revolutionise the mobile Web.
With a few strong years of market share gains, CTO Phil Hester says AMD will move deeper into servers, PCs and phones.
The Internet needs to be upgraded with a new layer of abilities that will deal with imminent problems of capacity, security and reliability, Intel Chief Technology Officer Pat Gelsinger said Thursday.
With ever-expanding amounts of data to back up, it's good to see backup media are keeping pace. We take a look at four tape backup options with more than 200GB capacity per tape.
Intel this year will focus on what it does best: Crank out chips and expand factory capacity, according to CEO Craig Barrett.
Intel's X-25M solid-state drive enjoys several advantages over both conventional disk drives and other SSDs, including improvements to data throughput, boot time and notebook battery life. If you can forget about the cost, this is by far the fastest data drive available.
Asus' TS500 offers reliability, speed and efficiency at a low price for a mid-range tower server. However, case design is not ideal, and the system strangely requires a PS2 keyboard and mouse.
Acer has taken standard Intel OEM components to put together a highly configurable and very scalable 1U server, capable of handling a variety of tasks. It's more than a match for similar products from the big-name vendors.
