Earlier this year, NASA replaced all of its station computer hard drives with solid state memory devices that do not require moving components.
12.
Rapid advances in semiconductor fabrication in the 1970s led to a new generation of solid state memories that magnetic-core memory simply could not compete with.
13.
The 4000 series were much less expensive than earlier raster displays and dedicated screen buffers that became more affordable as solid state memory chips became cheaper.
14.
For SSDs this time is not dependent on moving parts, but rather electrical connections to solid state memory, so the access time is very quick and consistent.
15.
The phones also feature a RDS FM radio, and a Memory Stick Micro ( M2 ) slot for expandable solid state memory ( up to 2GB ).
16.
For example, solid state memory on spacecraft can be altered, which may cause data or software contamination and result in unexpected ( phantom ) spacecraft commands being executed.
17.
While solid state memory chips are small, run noiselessly and are reliable, they are also expensive and appear to be growing more so as demand begins to outstrip supply, manufacturers say.
18.
Games for the N64, because of the cost of the solid state memory, typically had samples of lesser quality than the other two however, and music tended to be simpler in construct.
19.
In this case, TAUVEX would have stored the photon events in a solid state memory module ( 4 GB ), from which the events are transmitted at the nominal 1 Mbit / s rate.
