JEDEC to Standardize Solid State Drives

JEDEC, the association that sets standard for dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and some other integrated circuits, has announced that it would work to standardize solid state drives (SSDs) as well. The move outlines importance of SSDs going forward and will allow the market of flash-based storage solutions to evolve quicker.

“JEDEC has initiated standardization for the solid state drive (SSD) segment of the computer industry. This nascent market is poised for explosive growth as the price gap between rotating media hard disks and non-volatile alternatives such as flash drives decreases,” a statement by JEDEC reads.
