May 20--For several years it has been the same old story with drives:
Hard drives keep getting bigger; CD-ROM drives keep getting faster, and floppy drives keep getting cheaper. A nice trend for consumers, but even good things get boring year after year.
Well, wake up. Change is on the horizon.
If there are two trends to keep an eye on in the coming year, it's the
computer industry's move to replace your current floppy disk drive with a high-density version. And to swap out your CD-ROM drive for a digital video disk drive, or DVD-ROM.
The CD-ROM issue is most important because knowing what's coming down
the pike could save you some dough.
Here's the lowdown on what you'll see in computer stores these days.
Right now there is a glut of four-speed CD-ROM drives. If you chat
privately with tech types, they'll admit that companies with big inventories of quad-speed drives are almost willing to give them away. Some are going for as low as $30 bucks a pop.
The prices on quad speeds are so low because six-speed and eight-speed
drives are becoming commonplace in the market. A couple of manufacturers have even announced 10-speed versions -- which makes the quad-speed look like a tortoise in a field full of spry hares.
So should you bother with one of these new speedy CD-ROM drives?
My take is no, but that comes with a caveat.
DVD-ROM drives are well on their way to becoming a marketplace reality.
They will offer much better quality -- and will still be able to play all those CDs for which you paid $40 and $50. Not only that, DVD will be able to store more information -- you can realistically fit a feature-length film on a DVD, and movie makers plan to do just that.
The only downside, of course, is time. DVD-ROM isn't expected to hit the market for another year. The manufacturers are still haggling over standards and specs.
Even when the first DVD-ROM drives come out, the first products are
likely to be pricey and, since they're first generation, a new and improved version will take months after the initial launch. Most consumers will probably want to wait until prices come down and the technology gets improved -- which could mean waiting another six months or even another year. So this means waiting until 1998 or so.
Now for floppies.
If you've been in a computer store lately you've probably seen the
insatiable mobs trying to get their hands on as many Iomega Zip drives as possible. These drives are handy because a single cartridge holds 100 megabytes of information and the drive is portable. So, people are using Zips as combination back-up systems and a floppy-drive substitute.
This hasn't gone unnoticed among computer makers such as Compaq, who are dying for a piece of the action.
Compaq is equipping its new computer systems with its own brand of
high-capacity floppy drive that is capable of holding 120 megabytes per disk, or as much as 80 times the information that an old floppy could.
The new disk, called an LS-120, holds 120 megabytes and is made by a
wide variety of companies including 3M and Matsushita-Kotobuki Electronics Industries Ltd., so it has a chance of becoming a standard.
Both the Iomega and the Compaq high-density drives will set you back
about $200 today, if you buy them as separate accessories. But you can take heart that these products aren't likely to be replaced anytime soon. They're beginning to look like the floppies of the future.
Memory madness -- Prices for computer memory are continuing to fall.
Kingston Technology of Fountain Valley, the largest maker of upgrade memory products in the world, dropped prices on some products as much as 20 percent recently. This comes after more than a year of cost-cutting. Could be time to give your computer a boost and stock up on memory.
