Foremost memory industry players guess SSDs to attain deep diffusion in the computer market in 2011.

Chipmakers are likely to changeover to innovative 20nm-class processes by then, letting them to drive down costs as well as lastly turn SSDs into a feasible option for low cost storage.

All through a meeting in Taipei, top execs from Chinese as well as Taiwanese memory manufacturer urged all companies to build up and standardize SSD specifications in order to challenge core technologies currently controlled by major international vendors.

Although 2011 doesn't seem too far off, SSD prices at the moment are still anything but reasonable in spite of their performance edge over traditional storage technologies. A ramp-up of 20nm nodes ought to help close the gap, but we are still a bit doubtful.
