Sunday August 16, 2009 Sun Technologist Urges Flash Industry to Adopt NAND SSDs
At the recent Flash Memory Summit, Michael Cornwell, lead technologist for flash memory at Sun, urged the industry to adopt or emulate Sun's NAND flash module strategy for high-end servers:
"During a frank and sobering keynote address at the Flash Memory Summit here, he said NAND vendors are going down the wrong path by racing each other in process technology--at the expense of customer needs. Few sub-50-nm parts are suitable for the high-end computing or enterprise market, due to reliability and endurance issues, he said. So, OEMs like Sun are looking to devise flash-based systems using trailing-edge but more reliable NAND, but the trouble is that those type of parts are in short supply, he said."
