Speaking of storage, you’d think that if there was going to be one true evangelist for SSDs, it would be either Samsung or SanDisk/Toshiba. After all, those are the major players in what has become an all out solid state storage war. So this might surprise you: Fujitsu has announced that it will discontinue all of its 1.8-inch hard drives, in favor of SSDs. This is a surprising move, given that SSDs are an emerging market at best. Still, the company believes that there’s enough excitement surrounding the use of the drives in laptops that it warrants a gamble. “We want to see if the market tips toward flash, or if it stays with hard drives,” a spokesperson for the company said. If you’re still aching for a traditional, battery-sucking, high-capacity drive, don’t worry: Seagate, Toshiba and Samsung are still cranking them out. Fujitsu currently offers SSDs in a number of its portables.
