Toshiba expands flash production – eProvided Launches Solid State Disk Recovery Site.

[8:03AM MST, Wednesday April 4, 2012] SSD Data Recovery becomes a reality. As prices drop on NAND flash many companies know there is room to profit in this sector. With the recent surge in SSD production, that’s Solid State Drives, those lightning fast hard drives, sort of like a brother from another mother. These new Solid State Drives can move data at astonishing speeds. While standard hard drives only push the 100-150 MB/s, these SSD’s function at read speeds of 550MB/s and write speeds of 515MB/sec and up. Take for instance the OCZ VERTEX 3: Max Read: up to 550MB/s & Max Write: up to 500MB/s.

“Toshiba is building a new NAND flash memory plant to cope with rising mobile demand, according to claims by a Japanese business paper. The Nikkan Kogyo understood it would be the second piece of a fifth plant in Yokkaichi whose future had previously been in doubt over the tough Japanese economy. Construction would start in the summer with an aim to have the new factory running in 2013.”

As companies scramble to solve consumer based and enterprise level SSD Data Recovery solutions there is already a player that is in the process of launching a new SSD Hard Drive Recovery website to handle such data losses. Welcome to the mix eProvided.com, with over 11 years dealing directly with NAND flash data recovery, these folks are on the ball, and they are already aggressively taking on partners.

If your a smaller data recovery company or mom and pop type or even an SSD manufacturer and looking to have another company manage your data loss problems for your customers than eProvided is your goto guy. Solid State Disk Recovery and Broken Flash Drives life savers, keep them on your radar screen. Their new SSD Data Recovery website is still under development.

As for Toshiba building much more NAND Flash: officials had not completely confirmed the entire plans for this facility.

“NAND memory is a cornerstone of smartphones and tablets, and has gained extra importance as solid-state drives have taken hold in the MacBook Air and the ultrabook category that it spawned. Although not as large as Samsung in the field, Toshiba is still often considered a source for major companies, sometimes including Apple.”

Toshiba is considered the most aggressive in pushing NAND Flash technology and is planning 19-nanometer manufacturing that could easily lead to mass production of the single-chip 128GB memory, useful in super tight spaces on smartphones or iPhones, iPads and future iHome products.

Who Needs a Full Computer?

Tablets are destined to become consumers’ preferred vehicle of choice for accessing the Internet. Although industry numbers differ, tablet sales have shown strong growth from 2010 through 2011 and are expected to have phenomenal growth 2012 through 2015.

Morgan Stanley saw 16 million units shipped globally in 2010 and projected 55 million through 2011 and 85 million in 2012. Transparency Market Research counted 67 million units in global sales for 2011 – an increase of 276 percent over 18 million units counted in 2010 – and expect a total of 248 million units delivered by 2015.

The tablet was a result of the vision of Steve Jobs, whose Apple iPad 2 immediately took over the market when it came out in April 2010. Jobs identified the tablet as the “car” upon the technology landscape as compared to the desktop computer’s “truck.” His vision appears correct as international demand, primarily in the Asian countries, continues to grow at a rate twice that of the United States.

Consumers are finding tablets more compact and portable than netbooks and laptops, and easier to use to surf the web, check email, do social networking and watch videos. Business productivity has been greatly improved with the advent of Microsoft Office packages for both Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android platforms on tablets. Business enterprise use is predicted to increase from 21 percent to 51 percent by 2012.

With its Office Suite apps, Microsoft has practically defined and reoriented business productivity across various platforms. The company’s recent introduction of the Windows 8 platform promises to enable seamless transfer of Microsoft Office documents across smartphones, tablets, laptops and computers. The full release of Windows 8 by the end of the year has powerful potential for enhancing the tablet market.

Tablets have already demonstrated phenomenal uses in health management. Doctors and nurses not only have access to patient records, but they can also control medication over wireless connections while measuring physical reaction using tablets.

The ability to access texts, video and documents through Online Storage is changing the way education is delivered. Certainly the printing industry is affected while, of course, more trees remain to refresh the environment.

Realtors can show properties in videos on tablets, and the TV, movie and broadcast industries and their advertising partners now have a more flexible media to engage. Certainly the future speaks well of tablets, and tablets project well into the future.
