16Gigabit 43nm flash from Toshiba Image 1

Toshiba announced that it has developed a 16 gigabit nand flash chip in collaboration with SanDisk. The 43nm device is only 120 mm2 in size, taking 30% less space than the 56nm flash chips of the same density.

Toshiba also intends to manufacture 32Gb multi-level cell flash devices sometime between July and September.

The flash drives are getting better and smaller, so their prices should be cheaper a lot !!!

I have no idea what half of that means, but it sounds like bigger sized flash drives soon, which is great.

i luv it when things get smaller and take up less space, not that a usb takes up a lot of space but if all things in my house got 30% smaller (excluding my dog) things would be a lot better

Think you meant '16 gigabyte'...A gigabit is a fair bit smaller (1/8th or something)...

In any case, not surprised >_>

Nor will I be, when the 32GB, 64GB, etc come out...Because you know it'll keep doubling until it becomes physically impossible to double it, in which case, they'll go onto new technology...

Good news for prices of current models though, I might eventually pick up a 4 or 8 GB Pro Duo stick, for my PSP...my 1GB just doesn't cut it >_>
