I am in agreement. Intel stated this will be disruptive technology.
I was responding to Michael why Samsung won Apple business.

Us Intel bulls should keep a close eye on the IM joint venture. Micron needs Intel know how to fight back Samsung.

.....youse Intel bulls should realize that Micron needed Intel $$$$$$$ and NOTHING else to compete with Samsung.......I'd say there is NO Intel process technology in Micron NAND and I doubt any significant other technology either. Copy Exactly in this case will be Intel copying Micron tech........not that there is anything wrong with that.

That's a mighty good old US semiconductor partnership.

......I'll give you that one and agree 100%.

One bit of a problem is in how much growth there is here. The growth of the cloud, I think, has reduced storage requirements on consumer devices. I still use the 1 - 1.5 TB drives that I've used for years for storage and backup. Yes, they would be a lot faster with SSDs but there's no need for them. I have SSDs in my laptop at 512 GB but that's probably enough for quite some time.

There's certainly a need for more flash in mobile devices and those are certainly growing but they use quite a bit less than PCs. Do you really need SSDs in the cloud? I don't think so. If they're a lot cheaper, then sure; but are they?

Really?
Talk to Seagate, sdd's do fail without notice. Hdd's are alive and well and there to stay longer than you think.
