- editor's comments:- February 2012 - It's been clear to me for
many years that Rambus would one day set on a course which intersects with the
SSD market
I couldn't find any mention yet of SSDs on their site when
I looked in December 2010.
OK maybe they didn't realize it themselves
at that time. But they do now. And that's why they recently acquired
Unity Semiconductor.
For
short term and long term views about what's going on here and what you can
expect to see memory IP companies like Rambus play their part take a look at
these articles and directories:-

| First you learned about SLC
(good flash). |
Then you learned about MLC (naughty
flash when it played in the enterprise - but good enough for the short
attention span of consumers).
Then MLC SSDs learned how to be good.
Now some MLC is much nicer than others. - When it's preceded by an "e"
(extra-good). But it costs more.
But other people say you don't need
the expensive "e" - because their controllers empathize better
with naughty flash. (They really care about naughty flash being sent to bad
block jail too soon.)
Is your head ready to explode yet?
It's going to get even more complicated.
