We need the storage capacity in our mobile devices to hold the huge amounts of data we consume. So what’s Micron doing to feed that capacity appetite? Today we announced new 16Gb and 32Gb NAND products built using our ground-breaking 34nm NAND process technology.
I’m headed to Chicago today to attend the Storage Networking Industry Association’s Technical Symposium and really looking forward to a chance to meet and talk storage
Suppose I told you that the local car dealership was selling a car that offered double the gas mileage of standard models (or double the top speed for you daredevils). You’d probably say something like “Sure, but what is it going to cost me?” Suppose I told you that the models were identical, but the [...]

An HDD’s Mechanical Limitations A History of Digital Storage Tape Drives Magnetic Drum Memory The Birth of the Hard Drive The 5.25-inch Hard Drive Limitations of the HDD The RAM SSD & NAND NAND in SSDs In spite of new technologies like perpendicularly aligned bits and HAMR, HDDs are mechanical devices at heart and, as [...]
A History of Digital Storage Tape Drives Magnetic Drum Memory The Birth of the Hard Drive The 5.25-inch Hard Drive Limitations of the HDD The RAM SSD & NAND NAND in SSDs In 1980, Seagate Technology introduced the world’s first 5.25-inch hard drive, bringing HDDs to a broader audience; prior to 1980 only large and [...]
The industry is ablaze with talk of high-performance SSD solutions like PCIe and SAS for enterprise and even traditional notebook applications, but we shouldn’t forget about one of the best and most interesting opportunities for the SSD–netbooks. And sure, netbook SSDs don’t deliver mind-blowing performance, like 100k IOPs, but–if done right, they should be on [...]
