Flash Solid State Drives (SSD) offer great advantages for computing in terms of power consumption and compact size. However, as a replacement for Hard Disk Drives (HDD) it is difficult to compete on price in terms of memory storage per dollar.
Flash and SSD vendors are expected to continue to make improvements in density offering more GB/$, more reliable products, better wear-level algorithms, and longer write cycle lifetimes. Higher densities at consumer level prices will enable growth in mobile PCs.
