RAM? I thought this was a replacement for HDD and SSDs.
- sliverstorm 14y agoWhat are standard HDD bit cell sizes? I can't seem to find specs.
- wmf 14y agoIt doesn't matter because magnetic platters and silicon chips have totally different manufacturing cost per area.
- freehunter 14y agoYou're right, I had my techs backwards. I thought they were targeting RAM first, then flash second. It's actually the other way around. Flash was supposed to be dead next year, DRAM in 2014, and SRAM in 2015 (or somewhere around there). http://www.dailytech.com/HP+to+Deploy+Memristor+Powered+SSD+Replacement+Within+18+Months/article22963.htm http://www.dailytech.com/HP+to+Deploy+Memristor+Powered+SSD+...
- MichaelApproved 14y agoGotcha. I didn't even know they were targeting RAM at all. Can't wait until storage gets cheaper and faster. IO is the worst part of the cloud and this improvement could make working with a cloud computer much better.
- watmough 14y agoQuality 32 GB flash drives are $20 on Amazon. mRAM is going to have to work hard to keep up.
