The most eye-catching aspect of CES data storage and transmission

No matter which industry. Industry-wide large-scale exhibition for technology promotion, supply and demand beam communication and media publicity have a great role in promoting. CES has been the world's most important, most influential, but also the most popular in the industry's IT exhibition. The CES 2007 Consumer Electronics Show, held in Las Vegas, USA, serves the industry as well as the general public. Microsoft chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates has returned to the Consumer Electronics Show and delivered a keynote speech before the exhibition. However, what really concerns us is the new technology that appears on the show, which represents the trend of the year.

Post-DVD ERA competition Blu-ray vs HD DVD

Originally with the DVD+R/RW faction of Sony and Toshiba in the blink of an eye to become a different standard of competition, Sony-led Blu-ray and Toshiba-led HD DVD pie are at the show to spare no effort to publicize. In the background of the Blu-ray camp, BDA founder Thomson and Microsoft's logo are on the list, and it appears that Blu-ray's overall industry support is better.

Many readers are puzzled by the volume of media introductions, in fact, there are three kinds of sizes for Blu-ray single-sided single-layer optical discs: 23GB, 25GB and 27GB three of capacity. The slight difference is due to the problem of the edge stability of the process and the data verification space taken up by the optical transparent protective layer. From the show almost exclusively 25GB specifications, the future 25GB Blu-ray will be in the civil market thoroughly popularized.

The HD DVD Camp is now facing a tough test, and the two boats on the company's foot make the alliance very passive. But HD DVDs are more focused on products other than PC hardware, such as video players and VCR devices that have started to develop. At CES, Toshiba and NEC exhibited the HD DVD drive and CD-ROM used by PCs respectively.

Dazzling storage technology

Storage technology has been plagued by the development of PC and consumer electronics. We are pleased, however, that the many storage technologies exhibited at CES augur well for future prospects. The famous hard disk manufacturer Fujitsu launches the notebook computer hard disk of up to 200GB capacity, this product's power performance is very outstanding, the total load reads and writes the power consumption 1.6 watts, the load-free State power consumption 0.5 watts, obviously surpasses other products. Seagate shows a new FreeAgent mobile storage device, which has a maximum capacity of 750GB, allowing consumers to take the entire computer's contents to the hard drive. FreeAgent contains a hard disk and some software for management and encryption.

Vertical magnetization technology is also the focus of this exhibition. Vertical magnetization Storage technology will completely change the arrangement of the magnetic recording units, from the original "End to end" horizontal arrangement, into a "side-by-shoulder" vertical arrangement, overcome the increase in storage density brought about by the adverse situation, so that the future drive capacity to upgrade the road Yimapingchuan. At the show, whether Toshiba's 1.8-inch vertical magnetized hard drive or Hitachi's 1-inch 40GB hard drive, it has become an absolute star-grade product. In addition, the SanDisk in the exhibition capacity of 32GB Flash solid-state hard disk as the focus, which is also considered to be the most likely to replace the hard disk of the external storage technology, complete solution to power consumption, speed, stability and other issues, is the future of the most ideal storage solution.

Wireless USB Peripherals

Wireless USB is a "Wireless USB Promotion alliance" developed, according to the Wireless USB standard specification, its 3 meters within the transmission speed can reach 480Mbps. Currently, the main members of the Alliance are Agere Systems, HP, Intel, Microsoft, NEC Electronics, Philips Semiconductors and Samsung. At the CES show, NEC focused on the wireless USB technology, at which time the 480Mbps transmission speed can be achieved at close range.

Wireless USB is known as "Bluetooth Killer", which will let Bluetooth technology completely imprisoned in mobile phones and other information products, and the basic and PC No. For keyboards, mice, printers, digital cameras, MP3 players, PDAs and other devices, users must use USB or other interfaces to connect them to the PC, and then to the data communication, which is naturally very inconvenient. If there is a wireless connection technology can become a bridge to PC peripherals, these problems will be solved. In fact, when wireless technology is widely used in the area of PC peripherals, wireless USB offers users more convenience than WiFi WLAN and Bluetooth technology. Currently wireless USB also requires peripheral chips, such as the control module that NEC unveiled at the show.

Summarize

We can find that in the optical storage technology, hard disk technology, peripheral connectivity standards, the industry has a wealth of technology accumulation, so 2007 will be the consumer electronics technology popularization of the year. In addition, such as 3G mobile phones, large-screen LCD and MP4 and GPS equipment are also the focus of the show, even Toshiba fuel Cell is also eye-catching, which makes us a rich and colorful digital world.
