Why’d they use the term 16 gigabit? Is 16 gigabit something other than 2 gigabyte?

I remember selling my used 20 Meg hard disk for $50 and the person was excited to get it. Now, 15 years later, basically 1000 times the density in 1/1000th the space for the same price!

"This chip could be a practical replacement for disk drives in laptop computers."

Definitely! I wonder when computer manufacturers are going to start using these instead of disks. They should be far more reliable, but I wonder if they would be fast enough for multitasking. Would they perform well if a user is moving around lots of files while playing a DVD? This technology has lots of potential. I can't wait until flash memory can be used in servers and can replace disk arrays.

said Sunday it has begun mass producing 16-gigabit NAND flash memory chips using an ultra-dense 51-nanometer technology for the first time in the world.

As opposed to the unfair offshore producers on the moon.
