Next generation flash will be less expensive
February 3, 2010
Analysis by: Thomas Coughlin, President,Intel, Micron Introduce 25nm NAND Flash Production | www.pcworld.com
Intel and Micron have a joint venture based in Utah working on NAND flash technology. The companies have revealed a 25 nm flash production process, the smallest production semiconductor features yet. Smaller features allows more flash memory cells on a chip and thus lowers the costs of flash storage starting later this year. In order to stay competitive hard disk drives must continue their technology development or they will lose ground to flash.

SSDs make sense as computer boot drives
January 28, 2010
Analysis by: Thomas Coughlin, President,Kingston Coming With 30 GB ‘Boot’ SSD for $80 | www.tomshardware.com
Kingston announced that it is offering a 30 GB SSD for holding operating system and applications. This drive would be used to let a computer boot more quickly and load and move between applications more quickly. These products can be used with a HDD where user files and content are stored. A hybrid storage approach could make a lot of sense for faster booting computers without giving up the storage capacity of today’s HDDs.
