Embedded Star's latest article is about Flash solid state disks (SSDs). Flash solid state disks have gained a strong foothold in the military and enterprise markets. Its capacity to withstand extreme conditions made it fit for on and off ground military operations while speed has been its passport to the enterprise market. Right now, SSDs are moving past these two markets to capture a slice of the consumer electronics market. Judging by the way things are going, there is no doubt that flash SSD deployment in consumer electronics is inevitable.
