Intel corporation, in partnership with Micron Technology have begun paving the way towards a better, cheaper, and more stable storage solution. On February 1, the partners announced production utilizing 25 nm process, meaning smaller and smaller memory chips, and a much greater efficiency during production. For example, detailed in this rss feed, a chip manufactured using 25 nm tech is smaller than the hole in the center of a cd, but is able to store 8 gigabytes. That chip is a simplified example of what could be achieved with this new technology.
Although the previously mentioned feed is from 02/01/2010, this news post from engadget gives further details as to how this will affect storage drives, specifically notebook, and smaller, solid state devices.
