I found this article a while ago about Intel's upcoming Braidwood NAND flash memory module, which is aimed at giving users faster boot-ups and application launches. Currently we have SSD's , popularly used for netbooks but these new chips from Intel could kill the solid-state disk (SSD) demand, according to a recent report on the new technology as Braidwood's flash memory is less expensive to install because it resides directly on the motherboard and will offer all the same benefits of an SSD at a lower cost.
Basically, a NAND flash memory module serves as cache for all reads and writes, speeding up the performance of a system. Consumer-grade SSDs use relatively inexpensive multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory, which is about one-eighth the price of DRAM memory typically used for cache in a computer.
This is good news for people like me who always look for more affordable alternatives without sacrificing output. When this technology will arrive on Philippine soil, I not sure but its promise of affordability and performance keeps me optimistic.
