Andrei Khurshudov gave a presentation on solid state drives (SSDs) at the Symposium on Magnetic Storage Tribology and Reliability in Miami, Florida on October 20, 2008. In the presentation, he discussed SSD technology trends, challenges relating to reliability over the life of SSDs, and the need for standardization of SSD reliability testing methods. He noted that while SSDs offer benefits over hard disk drives like improved performance and lower power consumption, challenges remain regarding cost, reliability over the lifetime of the product, and write performance.
