Last year, SSDs were the talk of the show. This time probably all storage companies showcased their line of SSDs. Sandisk showcased its next-generation flash memory-based solid state drives (SSD) for netbooks, offering high-performance components at a competitive price. SanDisk pSSD P2 and S2 employ a new technology called nCache™, which improves netbook performance.

Another memory and portable storage giant, Kingston launched their V-series of SSDs during Computex. "The SSDNow V Series upgrade bundles are a terrific solution - given the current economy - for cost-conscious consumers who want an instant existing computer at a very reasonable price point," said Nathan Su, Flash Memory Product Manager, APAC Region, Kingston. "We are trying to garner mass-market adoption of SSDs by bundling together all of the software, hardware and step-by-step instructions in a couple of low-cost options aimed squarely at everyday users. The V Series upgrade bundles are a perfect complement to our existing line of SSDNow products that target enterprise customers and prosumers.
