Hmm, I've been waiting for this technology to mature as well. I would ideally like a fast solid state dirve for my OS and main programs.

Flash really wasn't intended for this use, so I'm hoping another contender will take its place for a more appropriate implementation. Battery backed RAM may be OK. Also, some kind of redundancy would be good.


MRAM :-)

Agreed, I think MRAM has huge potential. All of the benefits of static memory combined with the density of DRAM. Can't be bad.


If Freescale can make the stuff in large quantities... but like most really good technologies, this will probably only take off once the patents expire :-(
