Flash Memory... Make Way!

Move over flash memory, you're old technology; or at least thats what a company named Nanochip may have us saying in the next year or so.

Nanochip has developed a new type of memory chip that could blow flash memory devices out of the water. Nanochip's new memory promises to store more information and cost less doing it. These new chips use a similar technology that IBM has been trying to perfect for the last 18 years but they do it in a better, cheaper more efficient way. The chip that will be prototype released next year is to be size comparable to flash devices, but carry 100GB of storage capacity.




The company also says that with further refinement, the chip could eventually store in the terabyte range. This will be an exciting advancement as it could make solid state hard drives extremely small, large storage capacity and fairly cost effective.

Although, what would I do with a 50+ terabyte drive?
