"Will 2010 see SSD technology topping out?"

"Remember with any non-volatile floating gate memory device, the more you cycle the device the more failures you tend to observe, and the less data retention you get."

That is why you utilize the serialized attributes of e.Digital....write and read are not detrimental to the memory cells.....the only detrimental event is "FLASH", or, erase....e.Digital's considerations are unessential of that event because of their patented structured environment.

" The concept of using SSDs instead of hard disk drives (HDDs) to store persistent data is very appealing. "

When they place data it is persistent... For data that might need a change...they handle it without the need to "FLASH" every event.

One of these days, one of these writers are going to have to tell it like it is.

As for future substrates of memory....I've already given my opinion many times.
