Samsung will be the first to mass produce 16Gb NAND flash memory. The tech specs from Samsung state the memory support 30MB/s transfer rates and 4-bit error correcting code. Like most of you, I’m not really thinking about the RAM tech specs. It is more about 16Gb iPod nanos and iPhones. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a leader in advanced semiconductor technology, said it will fabricate the devices in 51 nanometers (nm), the finest process technology to be used in memory mass production to date.

With support technology in place, demand for 16Gb NAND flash memory is expected to grow rapidly, pushing this new chip into the mainstream market beginning late this year. Aggregate global sales through 2010 are estimated to be US$21 billion
