SSDs haven’t found their way into the mass market yet, but a team of Japanese researchers is already trying to make them more worthwhile. The team claims it has developed a technology that helps to shrink the size of SSDs by no less than 90%, makes them cheaper and boosts energy efficiency by 70%.
Japanese researchers clearing the way for postage stamp-sized 1TB SSD
Posted on Saturday, February 13 2010 @ 12:02 CET by Thomas De MaesschalckCrunchGear reports researchers from Toshiba and Keio University are developing a technology that may enable postage stamp-sized solid state disks with a capacity of 1TB. Besides a 90 percent smaller size, these SSDs would also be cheaper and sport 70% percent higher energy efficiency. The first samples are expected to be ready by 2012.
