Now that solid state disks are becoming readily available, albeit only small capacity drives are affordable to mere mortals, Toshiba gets bragging rights for showing off 15nm flash chips.

According to nikkei.net, 15nm geometry will lead to 100Gb flash chips - that's a whopping 12.5GB per chip, so a 100 gigabyte SSD could be built with only eight chips!

Frankly, as soon as manufacturers can pull this off at reasonable prices, hard drives will go the way of the Dodo.
