| iSuppli | iSuppli Says Flash Prices Are Dropping
Below Costs Editor:- February 20, 2008 - iSuppli Corp. is cutting its outlook for global NAND flash revenue growth in 2008 to the single digit percentage range, down from their previous outlook of a 27% rise. In an early warning sign of consumer weakness, Apple has slashed its 2008 NAND order forecast significantly and has informed suppliers that its demand growth will slow in 2008 compared to 2007, according to iSuppli sources. This is expected to have a huge impact on the NAND market. With its extremely popular flash-memory based iPods, Apple was the world's 3rd largest OEM buyer of NAND flash memory in 2007. On the supply side, slower NAND demand will have a major impact on suppliers' financial results. Capital spending on NAND production will rise by more than 20% this year, ensuring easy availability of parts. This will cause prices to decrease. iSuppli believes that NAND prices already are below suppliers' fully loaded costs. | |

| TrendFocus | TRENDFOCUS Reports on SSDs LOS ALTOS, Calif. - July 9, 2008 - SSDs, long touted as an HDD replacement, are too costly today and have not yet posed a real threat to HDDs, according to a TrendFOCUS report - "FOCUS ON: Solid State Drives." According to the report (price $799) over 50 million HDDs could be replaced by SSDs within a few years. Two HDD market segments are exposed to future SSD incursion – enterprise and mobile PCs. SSDs in enterprise systems and servers achieve high IOPS at low power consumption. Due to the high displacement ratio of one SSD to multiple HDDs, a modest penetration of SSDs as forecasted may cause enterprise HDD growth to peak within four years. HDDs will not be completely displaced from enterprise systems as higher capacity, cheaper HDDs will still be needed. | |
| Web-Feet Research | Web-Feet Research Launches Inaugural
Quarterly SSD Report Monterey, CA - April 7, 2008 - Web-Feet Research, Inc. announces the availability of the SSD Markets and Applications Quarterly Series for 1Q 2008. This is the inaugural edition of the quarterly update series for this annual report. Due to the changing nature of the Solid State Storage market, and in keeping with Web-Feet Research' mission to keep our clients informed with forward looking industry specific information, we are excited to provide this valuable quarterly series. The Quarterly Series (price $9,000) provides an in-depth analysis of the market and applications for Solid State Storage, including competing and complementing technologies. Overall SSD revenue growth is expected to reach $11.7 billion in 2012. SSD unit and revenue growth will be driven heavily by low cost PCs from OLPC, Asus's Eee PC, Intel's Classmate and others along with the rapid adoption of SSDs in notebook PCs. MLC technology for SSDs will eventually be adopted as the standard design-in for these platforms due to MLC technologies' better value proposition. Enterprise unit and revenue growth will continue to be healthy as SSD unit prices continue to decline over the forecast period. SSD revenue growth is expected to be 34.4% year over year. Although SSD adoption and growth is healthy in enterprise applications, its total contribution compared to the overall HDD enterprise storage continues to be a fraction of the total storage market for the forecast period. | |
