Intel-Micron new 25nm/8GB MLC NAND chip
Intel-Micron Flash Technologies just issued another increase in NAND density. This one’s manages to put 8GB on a single chip with MLC(2) technology in a 167mm square package or roughly a half inch per side. You may recall that Intel-Micron … Continue reading

7 grand challenges for the next storage century
I saw a recent IEEE Spectrum article on engineering’s grand challenges for the next century and thought something similar should be done for data storage. So this is a start: Replace magnetic storage – most predictions show that magnetic disk … Continue reading

Why SSD performance is a mystery?
SSD and/or SSS (solid state storage) performance is a mystery to most end-users. The technology is inherently asymmetrical, i.e., it reads much faster than it writes. I have written on some of these topics before (STEC’s new MLC drive, Toshiba’s … Continue reading

What’s happening with MRAM?
At the recent Flash Memory Summit there were a few announcements that show continued development of MRAM technology which can substitute for NAND or DRAM, has unlimited write cycles and is magnetism based. My interest in MRAM stems from its … Continue reading

Testing storage systems – Intel’s SSD fix
Intel’s latest (35nm NAND) SSD shipments were halted today because a problem was identified when modifying BIOS passwords (see IT PRO story). At least they gave a timeframe for a fix – a couple of weeks. The real question is … Continue reading
