  • Abstract
    The flash industry, fuelled by aggressive NAND scaling spanning ten generations, has seen unprecedented growth; a 100x increase in density during the last decade and a 50,000x cumulative cost reduction in 20 years. This has resulted in an explosive growth in mass storage market and a dramatic reduction in cost/MB. Will this continue and influence the emerging SSD market?
