Apple has been thinking about buying the Israeli flash storage company, Anobit, for about $400 - $500 Million!
Apple is so needing to increase their amount of flash memory storage in their devices as the iPhone, iPad and MacBook!
As Storage-Switzerland describes Anobit:
Anobit’s
MSP uses digital signal processing technologies to pull more
intelligence out of the NAND flash and provide a deeper insight about
the condition of the substrate. This gives them to ability to better
distinguish bit errors and to know when a cell has reached a point where
it won't reliably store data. This is long past the point that
traditional error correction code (ECC) technologies (used by the flash
industry at large) is still effective.
Essentially this means they can detect flash problems in flash cells
when they're much older, allowing them to extend the usable life of MLC
flash significantly longer than other manufacturers. The net of this
ability is Anobit's flash products have much longer endurance than
comparable products from other vendors. They claim commercial-grade MLC
endurance comparable to that of SLC flash from other manufacturers.
Theoretically, this would enable users to replace SLC flash with the
more economical MLC products.
