Sandisk and Toshiba Team Up

Re-writeable 3D memory could be a reality in the future thanks to the partnership struck up between Sandisk and Toshiba. Apparently, both companies will contribute to and cross license technology for 3D memory chip development and production. It will take approximately three to four years before a product worthy of displacing NAND is available, partly due to the fact that 3D memory chips ain’t a walk in the park when it comes to a high-yielding manufacturing process. Still, the benefits are there to see, such as the ability to retain information for a much longer time – some say up to a hundred years, even.
