Flash memory successor announced

    Flash memory successor announced


    Posted: 05 Aug 2013
    Flash, despite its vast success, is hardly an ideal storage medium - for one thing it gets slower and more fragile as it shrinks - so many expect resistance RAM - ReRAM - to win long term. Crossbar announces the first ReRAM that could replace flash.

    Crossbar, a start up in California, announced today their resistance RAM or ReRAM product. Their nonvolatile memory technology promises several advances:
    • Up to 1 TB of storage on a single chip
    • Simple 3-D stacking for multiple terabytes
    • Very low-power that helps extend battery life
    • 20x faster writes than NAND flash
    • Low-cost manufacturability - CMOS compatible process
    • Half the dice size of current flash

    Sounds like a no-brainer. Where is the catch?

    Might be finally the death of HDDs.

    Also yay for mobile devices with multi-terabyte storage.

    I have no idea why one would want that much storage on a phone. I can see this technology could be very useful for PC's and Laptops.

    The photo-taking maniacs will love it. Those types never have enough storage space.

    This sound more promising than the Flash RAM. :)
    Can you imagine a 1 TB DIMM? It's coming
