How reliable are memristors, as compared to HDDs and SSDs?
- jmaygarden 15y ago10^12 cycles with retention measured in years sound much better than flash (i.e. SSD).
- ChuckMcM 15y agoPotentially more reliable than both, but that remains to be proven out. HDDs have a 1E14 unrecoverable harder error rate, flash is higher (1E15) The lack of moving parts is a plus for SSDs and memristors but the susceptibility to tunnelling electrons is higher on flash/memristors than in the magnetic domain of HDDs. When they were first talked about at ISSCC the temperature sensitivity of memristors was also mentioned. I know, not a lot of useful info, my notes are sparse on these guys. I figured we'd see pattern memory (IBM) sooner. Maybe we'll get both, that would suck since they both need high initial costs to quickly offset their development costs. Hard to do in a strongly competitive environment.
