Nanochip - circa 2008
Nanochip, Inc. (www.nanochipinc.com) was formed in 1996 to
develop MEMS storage chips for consumer electronic applications. The company's
products address the need for low-power, very high-capacity, high-performance,
non-volatile memory at a price very competitive in consumer markets. Nanochip is
a private company headquartered in Fremont, Calif.

- editor mentions on STORAGEsearch.com
editor's comments:- February 2010 - after 14 years of
not quite getting around to developing a product - Nanochip has
disappeared off the
web.
January 2008 - I'm used to waiting years between the
time I first mention a company on these pages to the time that their first
product apears.
Nanochip is a good example. The company was founded in 1996 and was
listed here in 2001 - but are now saying (in Jan 2008) they don't expect to
sample their first commercial products till 2009. That's a 13 year gestation
period.
Nanochip says it "is developing a new class of
ultra-high-capacity storage chips enabling the storage of tens of gigabytes of
data per chip ...at a substantially lower cost compared with
flash memory solutions"
Although
the company looks and talks like a chipmaker - it aims to compete head to head
in the solid state disk
market and I predict it will have to design make and market demonstration SSDs
in order to prove its concept to the oems it hopes will use its technology, or
license it or (more likely)
acquire the company.
