The new hybrid hard drives, soon to be introduced by Samsung Electronics, not doubt improve system performance and battery life, but what about it’s own life?



In fact, we were not surprised to know that flash memory too has a limited life and it finally wears out, as everything else, here do. A USB flash drive can store a limited amount of photographic data in its memory or flashes, between 10,000 and 100,000 times, and after that, it can lead to data corruption. Therefore, the best way to secure your data is to keep a regular backup of it and rely on your network for data transference.



To avoid further wear and tear of your USB flash memory drive, better avoid running disk-intensive applications directly against files stored on the thumb drive. Another pitfall of flash memory is that though it retrieves the data fast, it’s too slow in writing. We hope Samsung to polish these rough edges in its future flash storage devices.
