Possible with the SSD (solid state disk), the world’s fastest SSD from Mtron (Korea). A bunch of flash memories as a disk drive to replace conventional HDD. Faster, weights less, less noisy and highly durable against shock and vibration because it uses flashmemory as storage medium. Fastest access time ever: 0.1m sec, instant seeks, 150MB burst, sustained 100MB writing & 80MB reading.
Mtron: "Our target markets have good growth potential and our company is well positioned to take advantage of the emerging new transition of storage. Technological advances have resulted in exponential increases in processor speeds while storage access times have only improved marginally. As a result, fast processors such as dual core or even multi core processors are forced to slow down and wait on mechanical storage devices to deliver its data. This quest for faster processing capabilities gave birth to SSD. By solving the problem of latency with its ingenious use of solid-state memory, SSDs will eliminate the CPU-storage performance gap, increasing overall performance of computing power. Within 2 years, we expect to see radical transition in the storage market from mechanical HDD to solid state disk". (site in Korean and English).

"To a great extent, the powerful emotional mood in Johnson's songs is a result of his masterful manipulation of microtonal intervals in his singing, and in Hellhound, in much of the guitar part. His voice could sound like a moan, whisper, yell, or trombone solo, with seemingly effortless ease — unless he constricted his throat for an even stronger effect — and the slide guitar parts could evoke the same. In a couple of songs, he sings about the wind howling, then the driving guitar rhythm suddenly stops for a moment, while Johnson slides up to a single note that can raise the hair on the back of your neck."
