It's a new year and there is no sign that the pace of innovation in storage is slowing anytime soon, with Samsung choosing CES 2015 to roll out its latest tiny solid-state disk drive (SSD) with an enormous data capacity.
The Samsung Portable SSD T1 is a one terabyte disk drive in a package that is smaller than a credit card - 72mm by 52mm in comparison to a credit card's dimensions of 85mm by 53.98mm. That is one small package in which to cram one terabyte - or 1,000,000,000,000 bytes - of data.
The drive is aimed at business travellers, creative professionals, and content creators who need secure local storage in large quantities. It is available in three sizes: 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB and according to Samsung it should be available in 15 countries across Asia, Europe (including the UK), and the US later this month.
