<p>In today overcrowded Internet space there are so many online shops, websites, blogs, review sites that its difficult to find the real companies delivering real products and services. Its true that its possible for anyone to make a website and its also true that anyone can sell a product. So it can sometimes be hard to find a company offering products and services that can really make a difference. Fortunately for those some individuals in the UK there are some great small privately owned companies doing great business online.</p>
<p>Once such company is CD-writer.com Ltd. Founded in 1999 by Nic Ranshaw, ex head of Internet Development at Ministry Of Sound, CD-writer.com has over a decade of experience in supplying great products and high levels of service at hard to beat prices. Since the late 1990&#8242;s CD-writer.com has been at the forefront of the evolving digital media market place. With a core product line focused on supplying enabling technology and work-flow solutions to digital media creatives, video production agencies, education, government and health authorities, CD-writer.com Ltd is now an established brand in the <a title="Duplication Supplies" href="http://www.cd-writer.com" target="_blank">CD, DVD, Blu-Ray and flash media production</a> industry.</p>
<p>Their own brand product sold under the StorDigital Systems label, is widely perceived as being the best in the industry. Where some companies are happy to sell a product in a box you will find that solutions from CD-writer.com offer so much more.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Tahoma, sans-serif" size="2">	A <strong>solid-state drive</strong> is a data storage device that uses solid-state memory to store persistent data. Unlike flash-based memory cards, an SSD emulates a hard disk drive, thus easily replacing it in most applications. There are two kinds of SSDs: flash-memory based ones and SRAM or DRAM based ones (often called RAM-drives). The RAM-drives data persistence can only be guaranteed thanks to a battery, but for a limited time.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Tahoma, sans-serif" size="2">	It&#8217;s called <em>solid-state</em> drive because it uses semiconductor devices, and it doesn&#8217;t have any moving parts, unlike hard disk drives which consist of a motor, rotating platters with magnetic surfaces, and mobile read/write heads.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm" align="center"> <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/df/Open_HDD_and_SSD.JPG/800px-Open_HDD_and_SSD.JPG" height="184" width="447" /><br />

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><font face="Tahoma, sans-serif" size="2"><u>Comparison with hard disk drives:</u></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><font face="Tahoma, sans-serif" size="2"><br />
<font color="#00ae00"><strong>+</strong></font> Faster start-up (no mechanical delays);<br />
<font color="#00ae00"><strong>+</strong></font> Fast random access for reading (no read/write heads to move);<br />
<font color="#00ae00"><strong>+</strong></font> Low read/write latency times;<br />
<font color="#00ae00"><strong>+</strong></font> No noise (no mechanical movements), except for some high-capacity models which have cooling fans;<br />
<font color="#00ae00"><strong>+</strong></font> High mechanical reliability (no moving parts);<br />
<font color="#00ae00"><strong>+</strong></font> File fragmentation has almost no impact on performance, since the seek time is almost constant and is not dependent on the physical location of the data;<br />
<font color="#00ae00"><strong>+</strong></font> For low capacity SSDs, lower power consumption and heat production;<br />
<font color="#00ae00"><strong>+</strong></font> For low capacity SSDs, lower height and size.<br />
<font color="#ff0000"><strong>-</strong></font> Price (as of mid-2008, around USD 3.50 per GB for flash memory, and around USD 0.40 per GB for mechanical drives);<br />
<font color="#ff0000"><strong>-</strong></font> Capacity (currently far lower than that of usual hard drives, but predicted to swiftly increase, with experimental SSDs of up to 1 TB);<br />
<font color="#ff0000"><strong>-</strong></font> High vulnerability to certain effects, such as abrupt power loss, magnetic fields, electric/static charges&#8230;..<br />
<font color="#ff0000"><strong>-</strong></font> Limited write cycles (but the problem is improved all the time. Today&#8217;s SSDs can last up to 20 years with average usage). SSDs based on DRAM do not suffer from this problem;<br />
<font color="#ff0000"><strong>-</strong></font> Slower write speeds (except for SSDs based on DRAM);<br />
<font color="#ff0000"><strong>-</strong></font> Lower storage density (but is expected to rapidly increase in the near future);<br />
<font color="#ff0000"><strong>-</strong></font> Higher power consumption (SSDs also take more power per GB).</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm" align="justify"><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma, sans-serif" size="2">	The advantages of SSDs are interesting for mobile computing and are becoming increasingly popular in markets such as notebook PCs, Ultra-Mobile PCs, and electronics sectors. The capacity currently varies from 12GB to 256 GB. Decreasing prices in raw flash material costs, and in the mean time increasing capacities make SSDs tend to be the next hard disk drive generation.</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>The BBC has begun DVB-T2 test transmissions today, from the Guildford transmitter southwest of London, in preparation for HD on Freeview.<br />
The transmission facilities are provided by National Grid Wireless and Arqiva as part of their support for the DVB standardisation process and the UK project for the launch of DVB-T2 services.<br />
This follows the approval by the DVB Project of the DVB-T2 specification and this will be the first time signals compliant with the DVB-T2 specification will be broadcast. </p>
<p>DVB-T2 is the next generation digital terrestrial transmission standard for new HDTV services on Freeview.<br />
Currently, Freeview services use the DVB-T standard which was defined more than 10 years ago.<br />
DVB-T2 can provide significantly more capacity and this will be essential for HDTV services to be launched on Freeview, currently planned for the end of 2009.<br />
BBC Research &#038; Innovation has been leading the work of the DVB group. </p>
<p>In parallel, it has been developing a modulator/demodulator (&#8220;modem&#8221;) compliant with the new specification.<br />
Justin Mitchell, leader of the DVB-T2 modem development team at the BBC, said: &#8220;We are delighted that our team, in collaboration with our partners, has been able to deliver such a key piece of technology in such a short timescale.<br />
&#8220;This is a big step forward in enabling the introduction of full HD terrestrial on Freeview by the end of 2009.&#8221;<br />
DVB will be showcasing the DVB-T2 technology at the International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam in September 2008 with papers, hourly talks and live demonstrations. </p>
<p>Notes to Editors<br />
The DVB-T2 specification will shortly be available as a &#8216;Blue Book&#8217; on the DVB website. It will now enter the European Telecommunications Standards Institute standardisation process under the reference EN 302 755. </p>
<p>About DVB Project: The Digital Video Broadcasting Project (DVB) is an industry-led consortium of over 270 broadcasters, manufacturers, network operators, software developers and regulatory bodies in over 35 countries committed to designing open technical standards for the global delivery of digital television and data services. Services using DVB standards are available on every continent with more than 170 million DVB receivers deployed. </p>
