Beyond these current storage products by established storage companies there is a wave of start-up companies working to enhance flash memory performance, increase its endurance and lower its costs.
Consumer-grade MLC flash memory are used in the Skyhawk by creating controller technology that can increase the effective endurance life-time of the flash memory cells.
This should include vigorous (jogging) and moderate aerobic exercise (a brisk walk), as well as twice-weekly activities, such as weight training, which maintain or increase muscular strength and endurance.
Flash memory with higher endurance will increase their performance and may also allow higher flash memory storage capacities by reducing one of the draw-backs in finer lithography flash memory chips endurance declines with narrower lithography flash cells.
