Samsung today announced the launch of a new consumer solid state drive (SSD) lineup. The Samsung 860 QVO SSD offers multi-terabyte storage options at affordable prices. It’s available with up to four terabytes (TB) of storage capacity with great speed and reliability. The SSDs are built on Samsung’s high-density 4-bit multi-level cell NAND flash architecture.
The need for more and faster storage is greater than ever before as users produce and store more high resolution files. Graphics intensive games and 4K videos require lots of storage and Samsung is looking to meet that demand with the 860 QVO SSD series.
The SSD is based on the commonly used SATA interface and 2.5-inch form factor so it can easily fit in laptops or desktops. It eliminates the need to use a combination of an SSD and HDD for booting and storage as the 860 QVO offers high capacity and performance both.
It can achieve sequential read and write speeds of up to 550 MB/s and 520 MB/s, respectively. It also has Intelligent TurboWrite technology to help accelerate speeds which maintaining high performance for a longer period of time.
Samsung will begin selling the 860 QVO SSD series from next month with prices starting at $149.99 for the 1TB model.

This Window Washing Drone Gets The Job Done Safely
Posted in: UncategorizedDrones can do all kinds of things, and now you can add window washing to the list. After all, washing windows is a dangerous job. Humans can die if they fall while working on a skyscraper. Well, the job just got safer. Also, a drone just took your job, window washers.
A company called Aerones is pioneering tall building washing via drones. These custom-built drones are about three meters in width. That’s almost 10 feet! Each one is powered by 12 motors and has hoses and sponge rollers to do its job. It also has cameras so a crew can oversee the washing process safely from the ground.
The company says that it can get the job done 20 times faster than humans. Of course, you have to get water up there to wash the windows. So the drone is tethered with a hose that feeds the water from a tank below. They also have another cable for electricity.
These drones will clean skyscrapers up to 350 meters (1,150 feet) tall due to the tether, and are outfitted with a safety cable that secures to the top of the building that prevents it from falling in the event that all rotors fail. That way it won’t fall and cause injuries below.
