The SSD market remains weak

DRAMeXchange which follows the market of the memory is quite naturally interested in that of the SSD that will become in future one of the largest users of chips. It is no surprise that in 2009 SSD discs only represent a tiny share of the total of the laptops sold, 1 to 1,5% (except for ultra portables that often have SSD of poor performance, and of small size).It will be necessary, according to those who made this study, to wait until 2011 for this market to explode. By then the chips engraved in 30nm will clearly lower the cost in GB of these discs, also the operating systems, Vista in the lead, will be optimized to benefit most from these discs by supporting in particular the function TRIM that avoids the degradation of the performances of the SSD with time.  In this case, and barring a miracle, the years of the hard drives with platters are now counted, a thing that would have been difficult to consider not so long ago.
