The technology attempts to decrease hard drive usage by moving frequently accessed data over to the flash memory. Flash memory can be accessed faster than hard drives and requires less power to operate, thereby allowing laptops to operate faster while also being more power efficient. [3] [4] The Turbo memory cache connects to a motherboard via ...
The software that made the computer see the Flash memory as a disk drive was called TrueFFS and it was awarded US patent No. 5404485 [9] in 1995. This software and initially the Flash memory from Toshiba were combined to form the first solid state storage product called DiskOnChip. The DiskOnChip was first designed for the Single Board Computer ...
These are typically low-capacity USB drives with modified flash memory controller firmware that emulates larger capacity drives (for example, a 2 GB drive being marketed as a 64 GB drive). When plugged into a computer, they report being the larger capacity they were sold as, but when data is written to them, either the write fails, the drive ...

In 2004, Seagate launched 2.5 and 5 GB hard disk drives in the same small physical form-factor as IBM Microdrive and referred to them as either 1-inch hard drives or CompactFlash hard drives due to the trademark issue. These drives were also commonly known as the Seagate ST1. In 2005, Seagate launched an 8 GB model.
A stack of Satellite Pro 470CDTs. Toshiba Information Systems introduced the Satellite Pro 400 series in June 1995, starting with the 400CDT and 400CS models. [1] This was a month after they had announced the Portégé 610CT, the first subnotebook with a Pentium processor, [2] and almost a full year after they had announced the T4900CT, the first notebook-sized laptop with a Pentium processor.

A flash memory controller (or flash controller) manages data stored on flash memory (usually NAND flash) and communicates with a computer or electronic device. Flash memory controllers can be designed for operating in low duty-cycle environments like memory cards, or other similar media for use in PDAs, mobile phones, etc. USB flash drives use ...
Beginning with Toshiba's T1800 laptop in 1992, Toshiba began introducing brand names to go alongside certain T-series models (in the T1800's case, Satellite). [4] This practice continued until June 1995, when Toshiba's computer division imposed a nomenclature reset which removed the T prefix and dictated that all succeeding models have a brand ...
