DRAMeXchange forecast that the percentage of notebooks shipping with SSDs (Solid State Disks) has plunged through 2008 & will fall to new lows in 2009.
According to DRAMeXchange's research, in the 1st quarter of 2008, 70% cent of netbooks came with an SSD. The following quarter that figure dipped to around 66 per cent before plunging to 30%.
By this time next year, the forecaster forecast, it'll be down to 8%.
This shows that manufacturers perceive that hard disks are more popular among netbook buyers, because of their capacity & because many netbook vendors are using cheap but slow MLC Flash chips for their SSDs, HDDs can appear quicker too.
