Available in 1.8 and 2.5" format, those SSDs offer a MTBF of 2 million hours, with an average access speed of 0.11 milliseconds, and read speeds of 67MB/sec, specifications similar to the 1.8" 32GB SSD model announced in February. Production of both models should start by the end of the year, paving the way for a massive introduction of SSD in our notebook in 2008.
Indeed, 1.8" and 2.5" SSD will rapidly attract users thanks to their impressive access time and low power consumption. Increasing the storage space of SSD will only depend on thickness flash memory engraving and piling, and will not be affected by rotation speed or number of plates as in standard notebook HDs.
By the end of the decade, the last mechanical parts in our notebook might be the optical drive, if any one remains.
