Toshiba wants to quadruple its SSD capacity in the near future while experiencing drops in production costs, hoping to hit a 512GB SSD by the end of next year thanks to process refinements as well as a 30 nanometer chipmaking process. The process of fitting more notes into a given space will additionally help lower the cost of flash memory manufacturing, but that will still be approximately 40% more expensive compared

to a regular hard drive. Another challenge would be to improve the longevity of multi-bit technology lest all the cells become unwritable in just a short while when used in a computer setting. The consumer wins in the end I guess, but how large will regular hard drives get in 2009?
