January 22, 2008 - The forum hosted on Blogspot is an unbiased web based format designed to update and present in an understandable way the developments, working and future of the Flash Drive business.
“The Flash Drive business is moving at a lightning speed” states John Graham, of design leader, Flash Drive Direct. “We design primarily for the promotional products industry and this kind of technology is hard for many of the distributors to keep up with. We are hoping that the site http://flashdrivedirect.blogspot.com/ will be a Mecca for the 70,000 promotional products distributors to learn about the daily changes in the flash drive industry.”
Flash Drive developments and improvements move at an unparalleled speed.The changes to the technology are amazing. Less than 2 years ago a 16 MB flash drive was commonplace and a 32-64 MB drive represented nearly 69% of the markets sales. Their typical retail price was nearly $20.
Today drives under 512 MB are being phased out by the major chip manaufacturers (Samsung) and the factories are making Nand flash drives that are approaching the 32 GB capacity. All in a chip that is less than the size of a penny.
The purpose of the http://flashdrivedirect.blogspot.com/ forum will be to help the 70,000 distributors catch up to the current understanding of flash drive capabilities and to have a place to go where they can refresh their knowledge as each new technological advance takes place.
In 2007 there were an estimate 45 million hand held flash drives sold through the promotional products industry. That figure is expected to double in 2008.
