| 3 things that could have
killed the flash SSD market |
The
emerging size of
the flash SSD market as you see it today was by no means inevitable. It owes a
lot to 3 competing storage media competitors which failed to evolve fast enough
in the Darwinian jungle of the storage market in the
past decade.
One of these 3 contenders is definitely on the road to extinction -
but could one of the other 2 still emerge to threaten flash SSDs?
The
article -
SSD's past phantom
demons explores the latent market threats which hovered around the flash SSD
market in the past decade. They seemed real and solid enough at the time. |

Getting a realistic
perspective of flash SSD's past demons (which seemed very threatening at the
time) may help you better judge the so-called "new" generation of nv
memory contenders - which are also discussed in the article. ...read the article | | | |

- SSD Myths
- "write endurance" - Nowadays you can't stop SSD vendors
talking about how clever they are at dealing with endurance. In theory the
problems are now well understood - but solving them presents a challenge for
each new chip generation.

- SSD market
analysts - StorageSearch.com is a trusted primary resource in the SSD
market - but the more you learn about this market - the more questions you
realize remain unanswered (or unanswerable). I compiled this filtered list
as a recommended resource for all those people who need custom reports and
detailed market help - which go way beyond my limited "content
prioritized" time budget or would involve too many conflicts of
interest for me to take on.

- SSD jargon -You
can't have a meaningful discussion about the intricacies of SSD design without
using these words.
