Samsung paves the way for 128GB memory card

Samsung's been blowing our minds with its memory advancements for years, so we're not at all surprised that this very company has seemingly figured out a way (officially, that is) to concoct a 128GB memory card. The secret to such a capacious offering is a new manufacturing process dubbed self-aligned double patterning technology (SaDPT), which has enabled the firm to create the "world's first" 64Gb multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory chip using 30-nanometer process technology. Up to 16 of the 64Gb units can be combined to create a drool-worthy 128GB memory card, which can easily hold a modest DVD collection or upwards of 32,000 MP3s (its number, not ours). Apparently, Sammy hopes to crank up production on the flash devices in 2009, but until then, we'll just have to make do with its awe-inspiring 64GB SSD.[Via CNET]
