Samsung launches tiny terabyte solid state drive


Lazarus Sauti

South Korean multinational conglomerate company Samsung recently launched the “industry’s first” 1TB mSATA Solid State Drive (SSD).

As part of Samsung’s 840 EVO series introduced back in July, the new 1TB mSATA 840 EVO SSD is approximately a quarter size of a 2.5” SSD, and offers the same level of high density and high performance.

That is a one followed by12 zeroes of bytes, all squashed into one fun-loving piece of speedy hardware.

The 1TB mSATA SSD has a thickness of 3.85mm and weighs 8.5g.

Samsung further notes that its size and weight are approximately 40 percent less than a typical hard disk drive.

This 840 EVO line-up might be more cost-effective using triple-level cell (TLC) flash and Samsung notes it has a maximum read and write speed of 540MB/s and 530MB/s.

As announced earlier this year, The 840 EVO mSATA SSD lineup is available in 120GB, 250GB, 500GB and now 1TB.

Senior vice president, memory brand product marketing, Unsoo Kim said: “With the new mSATA SSD line-up offering up to 1TB of memory and an optimised software tool, we expect that consumers can enjoy high storage volume and performance on ultra-slim notebooks besides desktop PCs.”

“We will continue to bring leading-edge SSD products and software solutions with improved quality and reliability, while working on offering higher consumer satisfaction and strengthening competitiveness of our branded memory business.”

The new drive is expected to be used as a secondary (or slave) drive in upcoming notebooks.

Why the hell are men and women prepared to poison themselves for sex?

Lazarus Sauti Tim Marufu uses Congo dust, a sex enhancing drug from the Democratic Republic of Congo, to prolong his erection. He said the aphrodisiac, which is rubbed on the male organ, results in lengthy sex rounds. “ NeCongo dust unoanchor mudhara, unochimhanya (With Congo dust you can enjoy length sex sessions). “ Uyu mushonga wechikwapuro; ukangozora chete simbi yako inozhamba (This drug is powerful. If you properly apply it, your partner will cry in bed),” said Marufu, adding that “the powder prolongs an erection for up to an hour if applied correctly.” Explaining how Congo dust works, he says, “You just take a pinch and rub it at the tip of your organ at least three hours before being intimate.” During the process of an erection, he added, the penis enlarges and stiffens as a result of changes within muscles, nerves and blood vessels of the organ .

Are butt-fattening pills real?

Lazarus Sauti Large posteriors are beautiful marks for most African women and despite health hazards and side effects such as kidney failure, blurred vision, sedation, dry mouth and gastrointestinal, women jostle to get them. In Zimbabwe, most women use Apetito tablets, illegal injections as well as chicken-fattening pills to acquire fake behinds. These illegal tablets as well as chicken-fattening pills are smuggled into the country from countries like India, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia. The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority asserts that an increase in seized contraband of butt-fattening pills shows amplified circulation of such drugs in the country. Recently, alert Zimra officers stationed at Chirundu One-Stop Border Post confiscated a huge consignment of skin lightening creams as well as butt-enhancing tablets which were carefully stashed in a well-carved opening on the trailer of a haulage truck destined for Harare. “Skin lightening creams and “bod

Fake news: An insidious problem

Lazarus Sauti THE INTERNET is an amazing place, crammed with information from different news sites, but the only problem is that some devious elements are using it to cause alarm and despondence as well as destroying people’s lives. An escalating number of fake and spoof sites are exploding on a daily basis, spreading phony reports like wildfire on the Internet. Most people in southern Africa woke up to a bogus news report recently suggesting that popular South African gospel artiste, Lundi Tyamara, had died after suffering from multiple diseases including anal cancer, chest pains and abdominal tuberculosis. The fake story went viral, with fans on social media platforms expressing shock over the artiste’s ‘death’. His manager, Anele Hlazo, however, rubbished the claims, saying “the gospel star is out of danger and his fans should not worry”. Tales of President Robert Mugabe’s ‘death’ also gained grip recently after a ‘R.I.P Robert Mugabe’ Facebook page posted t
