Micron works with Sun Micro
to achieve one million write cycles in NAND flash
One of the limitation of flash memory is, less number
of write cycles compared to DRAM and SRAM. To improve on
this, Micron Technology has worked with Sun Microsystems
to develop a new single-level cell (SLC) enterprise NAND
technology capable of achieving one million write cycles.
The new technology delivers the highest write/erase cycling
capability of any NAND technology available on the market.
Though this is a step further but lot more has to be done
in writing speed and other limitation of flash to stop other
budding nonvolatile memory technologies entering the main
market.
The other nonvolatile memory technologies such as PRAM,
FRAM still got to undergo significant improvements to beat
the advantage of flash.
Micron is now sampling its Enterprise NAND in densities
up to 32 gigabits (Gb).
