34nm Flash Memories to Appear in 32Gbyte SDHC Card

June 30, 2009

Lexar Media has announced that it will be producing 32Gbyte SDHC cards based on Micron’s 32Gbit MLC (multi-level cell) NAND Flash chips fabricated with Micron’s 34nm process technology. The new SDHC cards ship this September. Moore’s Law continues and here’s the latest proof. The new SDHC card has sufficient capacity to store 12 hours of HD video. The new NAND Flash chip features an ONFI 2.1 synchronous interface that delivers a maximum transfer rate of 200Mbytes/sec. By comparison, older SLC (single-level cell) NAND Flash memory interfaces are limited to 40 Mbytes/sec.

I'm definitely impressed by the speed. I have a 32Gb Sandisk card that I use in an Aiptek handheld projector. Unfortunately, all I store on it is TV clips, which is probably a waste all around. Keyword search: "onion sony crap" if you aren't quite sure what I'm talking about.
I'm waiting for the 'micro' SDHC so I can put this in my cell phone.
