Where are those 32GB microSDs from SanDisk?

but are those DDR? this is the first time i heard any specific mention of it.

@OmegaNemesis: I wouldn't have agreed with you before, but I just bought a Samsung F3 and installed win7 and it's so fast I'm well happy with it.
I mainly want an SSD for my laptop tbh

How do you mean? I read the article before posting, is there something you don't agree with?

The big question here is the performance of the DDR interface with the MLC flash. With traditional 2-bit MLC flash, the speed is greatly reduced. With this newer 3-bit MLC flash, one would expect even slower speeds but the wild card here is how the DDR interface balances out the ineptness of the 3-bit cell architecture.
Perhaps in the long run, the DDR architecture will win. Seems to kinda resemble the way RAM has evolved where the RAM chips run a lot slower compared to the IO bus and the prefetch just gets wider and wider.

You know reading this I was really thinking the same thing. In order for Nand flash to continue to progress and become a viable option for mainstream users, 3bit, 4bit, 5bit, and beyond will have to be made available. The performance will degrade some each time, but I think clever manufacturing techniques, like the DDR implementation, will allow the speeds to remain high. MLC flash is slower then SLC sure, but in burst speeds and maximum read speeds they two are really quite similar. Getting an MLC drive with a good controller really only effects the number of write cycles. Hopefully when better controllers are developed to work with this new type of flash we might see the same thing with 3bit vs 2bit MLC.
