Japanese memory chip manufacturer Toshiba announced yesterday that it will be showcasing a 128 GB NAND-flash-based solid-state drive (SSD) at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January.
Flash drives, which unlike traditional hard drives do not have any moving parts, will be common in notebooks bought during 2009 and account for 15 percent of that market by 2011.
Intel, STMicroelectronics and private equity firm Francisco Partners plan to form an independent flash memory company in Switzerland, the companies said on Tuesday.
