Looks like larger capacity solid-state drives will be rolling out of manufacturing lines pretty soon – at least from SanDisk anyway. SanDisk and Toshiba are currently working on a new 43-nanometer manufacturing process which will see SSDs released with the same capacity as those of today’s mainstream 2.5″ hard drives. I guess toting around 160GB of flash memory is but a pipe dream for most of us since the entry cost is prohibitively high, and there are also issues to be dealth with such as limited write cycles and slower data transfer speeds when it comes to transferring huge chunks of data. I think those two are bearable considering how people would prefer portability especially where mobile devices are concerned.
