The demand for smaller yet storage rich devices have lured chip makers into into a frenzy. SanDisk this week introduced a line of SSDs that will be available in 4, 8, and 16 GB capacity with READs up to 39 MBPS and WRITES up to 17 MBPS. Targeting the mini-laptop computer, tablet PCs, and blade servers, SanDisk plans to roll out these disks sometime in August.

It will be interesting to see if the solid state disks will start becoming the new standard, the energy efficiency as well as reliability could be the main drivers. Innovating the platform has to be a good thing for the notebook, the desktop and blades/servers.  The 8GB solid state drive might be ideal for a drive to boot from for your Windows/Linux or Unix implementation on blade servers and have the data, the virtual machines etc SAN based.
