The new flash storage device utilizes 30-nanometer processing technology and was developed using Samsung’s self-aligned double patterning technology (SaDPT), said Samsung officials.

The company said it plans to start manufacturing 30-nanometer 64Gb NAND flash devices during 2009. Samsung has already applied for as many as 30 patents for the new flash memory chip, officials said in a statement.

By combining a total of 16 separate 64Gb flash devices, businesses can create a 128GB flash storage device capable of holding up to 80 DVD movies or 32,000 MP3 music files, noted Samsung.

This does sound very cool, I wonder if this kind of technology could be deployed in the server as a boot disk for the operating system just like they have available on the IBM blades. You could have your Windows/Linux/Unix image on the solid state disk and save storage on the SAN, as well as save energy in comparison to the traditional disk.
