Toshiba wants half of SSD market
Solid statement
TOSHIBA'S TOP MAN Atsutoshi Nishida has told attendees at a corporate strategy meeting that the company expects to be making one in every two solid state drives by the end of the decade.
The Japanese company, which has put together a totally new team to develop the up-and-coming storage technology, reckons that very few competing companies can keep up when it comes to SSDs.
SSD drives, which are currently salary-sappingly expensive, are expected to account for 10 per cent of the storage in notebook computers by 2010. µ

In some ways SSDs are going to be better
If SSDs start getting faster than hard drives, I can imagine some uses could be found for them, especially if they can be made more durable for read/write operations.Heck, I bet there could be some extra uses found for hard drives if constantly reading and writing wasn´t expected to make them die quicker.
