Toshiba unveils superfast FeRAM for future SSDs

Today's SATA Solid State Drives sports read and write speeds of up to 250MB/s, which is indeed impressive. Toshiba has announced a new kind of non-volatile RAM that like flash memory keeps the data when the power is cut and at the same time FeRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory) has characteristics that puts performance in the range of regular RAM. Toshiba has developed a 128Mb circuit that use an integrated DDR2 interface that can achieve read/write speed at 1.6 GB/s. Performance not before seen at these storage densities. FeRAM still offers up to 8 times the performance of Flash memory, while the data can be stored up to 10 years.
