Sandisk to enter SSD market
Sandisk is one of the most popular flash memory and storage card brands in the world and its recent announcement to finally enter the ultra affordable PC business is just a natural extension of its business. The company announced that it is going to provide solid-state drives to the PC sector, which is a great move business-wise because of the growing demand for SSDs and semi-conductor based memory devices employing NAND flash memory chips. Sandisk’s move to this lucrative market could even be seen as a threatening move on the HD market dominated by Seagate.
The high cost of SSDs has been the major obstacle that prevents these devices from enjoying a bigger share in the market but with prices dropping and demand for SSDs rising, this issue may be a moot one in the near future.
Will SSDs become the new standard for laptops in the near future? I’m betting that it will.
