October 26, 2006[TechView: The Industry] Flash Set To Complement HDDs
The notion of replacing PCs' hard-disk drives (HDDs) with solid-state NAND flash memory long has been pondered, but never given much serious consideration. Yet the success of Apple's flash-based iPod nano is spurring speculation that NAND could become a legitimate competitor for HDDs in PCs. Compared to HDDs, flash offers improved reliability, lower power consumption, silent operation, and faster access time. NAND also is more reliable than HDDs since it doesn't...
March 31, 2005[TechView: The Industry] Thanks For The Memories, But New Ones Are Necessary
It has been more than three decades since the invention of microchip-based memories like RAM, SRAM, DRAM, and EPROM, and these products have served the needs of the market quite well. Yet evolving requirements and technical challenges are demanding the development of entirely new memory technologies. Microprocessor advances are driving the need for these new technologies. To keep in step with microprocessor development, memory suppliers have used the dynamics of Moore's Law...
