Google looking to shift some servers over to SSD
Plans are afoot over at Google to shift some of its servers over to SSD-based storage. The motivation has to do with lower electrical consumption compared with that of traditional Winchester (or spinning) hard drives, say sources at memory makers. The SSDs will first see action at servers in Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters. Intel will be supplying the flash chips, while the server controller chipsets will come from Marvell.
With the sheer number of servers that Google operates, DIGITIMES predicts that a shortage of both 16Gb and 32Gb NAND flash chips could result. According to them, shipments are due to arrive late second quarter.
