64 Gigabyte in your smartphone,...WOW!
1.The JEDEC/MMCA V4.4 compliant interface handles essential functions, including writing block management, error correction and driver software. It simplifies system development, allowing manufacturers to minimize development costs and speed up time to market for new and upgraded products.
2.A wide product line-up supports capacities from 2 to 64GB. The high-capacity 64GB embedded devices can record up to 1,070 hours of music at a 128Kbps bit rate, 8.3 hours of full spec high definition video and 19.2 hours of standard definition video(3).
3.The 64GB device stacks sixteen 32Gbit chips fabricated with leading-edge 32nm process technology. Application of advanced chip thinning, layering and wire bonding technologies allowed Toshiba to achieve individual chips only 30 micrometers thick, and to layer and bond them in a small package. The result is the highest density embedded NAND flash memory module in the industry.

4.The new 64GB product is sealed in a small FBGA package which is D14 x W18 x H1.4mm and has a signal layout compliant with the JEDEC/MMCA V4.4.
I always laugh in amazement to such new developments, because my first was a 64K Apple IIe (I didn’t even get the extended 80 column card with the extra 64K, opting to get an Applied Engineering auxslot card with a meg on it something like that). When I bought a digital camera, a cheapie at the warehouse club about seven years ago, it had 8MB built-in, with a CompactFlash slot I soon filled with a 256MB card. The other day I picked up a 512MB CF card for I think $7 (maybe it was $5, the last one anyway, no other CFs were there) at the Meijer liquidation store, for use with something or other, don’t have specific plans, but it’ll come in handy for some purpose.
64K is circa 1/1000th of 64 megs, which is circa 1/1000th of 64 gig...
What’s the difference between this and SSD? SSD capacity is now larger than 64GB, if I’m not mistaken.
