Not content with shrinking its NAND flash process to 25nm, Micron is heading below that level next year.We don’t know exactly how small the NAND dies are going to get butDigiTimesreports Micron will get there next year. The company hasn’t even started mass-producing its25nm productyet and it’s pretty advanced. As Micron says, 25nm is 3,000 times [...]

The different types of flash memory cards for use in digital cameras are: Secure Digital (SD), CompactFlash (CF), Memory Stick (MS), MultiMediaCard (MMC) xD-Picture Card (xD) and SmartMedia (SM). The type of memory card you use is dictated by which digital camera you buy. These cards are physically different and are -not- interchangeable. NOTE — NOTE — NOTE [...] SD memory cards are an innovative, always evolving bridge media powering the future of the digital world. SD memory cards deliver high-performance products that allow consumers to quickly capture video, photos, and sound in a reliable, easy-to-use format. SD technology is the de-facto industry standard for mobile phones, digital cameras, MP3 music players, personal computers, printers, car [...] A memory card is a device offering an easy, fast and reliable way for storing and transferring digital files. Micron is sampling new flash dies that can write data many more times than other flash chips before they expire. Micron calls its new products Enterprise NAND and is using a 34nm process to build them. It has a new 16Gbit single-level cell (SLC) die capable of up to 300,000 write cycles. Micron says this is three [...] Multiple flash locations in the server-storage stack are upsettingbalanced I/O conventions and making overall system design much moredifficult.Designing and implementing server-to-storage systems is going tobecome very much harder, because existing assumptions about server andstorage I/Os per second (IOPS) handling are being swept aside.Virtualised, multi-core, cache-enhanced servers can digest and generatedata faster than many hard drive storage [...] NAND flash chip manufacturer and Intel partner Micron could belooking to buy Intel offspring and NOR flash manufacturer Numonyx,according to anEE Timesreport.This would enable Intel to get out of Numonyx, Micron to get into the NOR flash business, and get its hands on Numonyx’sphase-change memorytechnology. IBM has upgraded its midrange disk array storage systems, rolling out the IBM System Storage DS5020 Express with support for 8 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC), iSCSI and self-encrypting drives. The DS5020 Express is based on LSI Corp.’s Engenio 4900 that IBM sells through an OEM deal. It replaces the DS4700, which IBM plans to sell through the [...] Interest in solid state drives (SSDs) is growing as their initially terrifying price plummets: Intelrecentlyannounced a 60 per-cent reduction in the cost of its X25-M Mainstream SATA SSD since its launch last year.SSDs are attractive because they radiate less heat than traditionalspinning disks, they’re smaller, quieter and consume less energy. And,of course, they’re fast. So naturally [...] Until the costs drop even further, performance-boosting solid-state drives (SSDs) won’t make economic sense for every type of application, so it’s important to follow best practices to ensure they are working for your storage shop. Here are 10 SSD best practices to follow:1. Identify I/O-intensive applications that will benefit from faster data storage. Types of applications [...] |
