Researchers develop much more efficient NAND flash memory

Posted on Sunday, May 23 2010 @ 1:00 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Japanese researchers have developed a new kind of NAND flash memory that uses 86 percent less power than existing NAND flash memories, while enabling data writing speeds of up to 10GB/s!
The group consists of Ken Takeuchi, associate professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Systems, Graduate School of Engineering of the University of Tokyo, and researchers of Japan's Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST).

When an SSD (solid state drive) is made by using the new memory, it is possible to enhance the data writing speed to up to about 10 Gbytes per second because data can be written on 100 or more chips in parallel.
