I've a camcorder with 40GB solid state hard drive Why do computers still use unreliable mechanical hard drives rather than solid state ones now they can be as large in memory capacity?

As technology progresses, so does the need for larger capacity hard drives. It is common today for computers to have 250+ GB hard drives, you can obtain more capacity for the money with a "mechanical" hard drive. For example a 1TB drive is less than $100 (USD), where as a solid state drive of this capacity would be well into the thousands of dollars. Simply put, the solid state drive is too expensive to be practically used in the every day computer. Eventually solid state drives will replace mechanical ones but not until they become economically worth it. By the way, I have a JVC Everio HDD camcorder with 40GB hard drive (giving from 9 (at highest resoolution) to 50 (at lowest resolution) hours of video) and a further expansion slot for an SD card, and find it absolutely brilliant and great value for money - producing video of the quality normally only available with machines that cost three or four times as much!

What are the advantages of a flash memory camcorder versus a hard drive camcorder?
An major advantage of a flash memory camcorder is the easiness of sharing videos online. The memory is stored on a removable memory card. It is easy to remove the card and transfer data to your computer. The hard drive in a camcorder has a very large memory capacity. You can record over the hard drive many times without losing quality.
If there is no information about capacity on press How do you measure mechanical power press capacity?
If there is no information about the capacity on a press, you will need to manually figure out the mechanical power press capacity. This can be calculated by multiplying the area of sheer by the shear strength of material. You must also take into consideration the strength of the material.

How have computers improved since 2007?
Computers have improved in a significant way since 2007. Applications have been compressed and computers have increased in terms of capacity while reducing the bulk size of the body of the computers.
