Toshiba Making 24nm Flash -- 8GB on Single Chip
Small memory for big capacity.
Toshiba said that it has started mass production of NAND flash memories fabricated with 24nm process technology. This latest technology advance has already been applied to 2bit-per-cell 64-gigabit (Gb) chips that are the world's smallest and offer the highest density on a single chip (8 GB), and which are available from today.
The 24nm process products are also equipped with Toggle DDR, which enhances data transfer speed. Toshiba will eventually add 32Gb and 3bit per cell products fabricated with the 24nm process technology to its product line-up.
Toshiba provides flash memory for smartphones, digital video cameras and tablet PCs – many of which the newer models support the recording and playback of high-definition content.

Which cause are you supporting? Save the whales? Or did you mean
because'?
hahaha mase me laugh.
It would probably be in a format similar to RAM modules but it won't come until the industry sits down and formulate a standard for it.
Like http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2007/05/sd_to_ssd_conversion_made_easy.html you mean? They are around but not too popular, since the really fast SD cards with large size are expensive
I guess this just means more companies meaning more choices and cheaper prices. Hopefully SSDs will hit less that $1/GB.
At first i was disappointed at the ssd companies (Intel, Toshiba) for making there ssd's multi-cell, 3 or more bits per cell, but this newer toggle ddr should speed these ssd's up to single-cell speeds or faster. Oh, and nice picture!
Hmm, you almost have a point there.
Imagine you could RAID a lot of SD cards from readers, each one would have to be on a separate USB header so it can benefit from maximum bandwidth, how many would it take to achieve the same read/write performance of an SSD?
How about something like this?

111.4MB/s read and 55.2MB/s write are not impressive looking stats and the device plus 6 x 8Gb cards is approx £120 ($170) for 48Gb.
For £113 ($160) I can buy a 60Gb SSD with read of 285MB / write of 275MB
