Flash Is the Future For Laptop Storage: Report

Flash DriveFlash based solid state drives (SSDs) could unseat hard disk drives as the preferred storage choice for laptop computers within the next 10 years, predicts market research firm In Stat in a report released this week.

Based on a survey of nearly 400 mobile computer users, the In Stat researchers conclude that the potential benefits of SSDs, coupled with declining costs of Flash memory, could leave the laptop storage market ripe for change. In fact, they predict, by 2013 half of all mobile computers will have SSDs.

Flash-based SSDs as hard disk drive replacements are just starting to emerge in laptops from major manufacturers. In March, for example, Samsung Electronics unveiled a notebook with a 32-GB NAND Flash-based SSD instead of a hard disk drive. The $3,700, 12.1-inch screen notebook PC is available for the Korean market only. Channelweb Exclusive News Linked by LT Hacker
