IHS iSuppli analysts decided to talk about caching SSD - solid state drives, low-capacity, which may leave the market due to the possible failure of ultrabooks.
According to experts, SSD caching held only by the strict requirements of Intel to the configuration of ultrathin disk systems and stylish mobile systems. Otherwise, manufacturers of laptops and desktops would have tried to save on flash cache. Therefore, reducing the rate of ultrabooks release and even a possible withdrawal from the market of these systems in the first place hit by small- SSD capacity .
However, analysts are assured in their opinion. Tablet! Crush ultrabooks sale, and they do not require cache SSD. The Tablet PC is basically built-in flash memory standard Embedded Multimedia Card (eMMC). It is expected that in 2016 will be produced about 160 million chips eMMC (in 2012, out of print about 45 million ). SSD caching in 2016 can be sold about 145 million units (in 2012 - 15 million). Over the next five years, as we see, eMMC-modules will exceed SSD output caching . This is the most favorable prognosis for the sales of ultrabooks expansion.
Another problem of small SSD can be the standard Universal Flash Storage (UFS). This interface type will replace eMMC and a high-speed serial bus which distinguishes UFS, for example, the mSATA. Demand for UFS-drive promises to prove themselves over the next year and a half.
