I can't find any figures. I do remember the pricing we were shown last time we priced flash for a project.

Ok, think of it this way. If there is no premium for different speed grades, then manufacturers wouldn't have them, would they? What would be the point?


I'm not saying that there are not grades of Flash, and that "higher grades" command a higher price, just that Flash is a commodity. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

PC100 memory is cheaper than PC133 (used to be more so). DDR 200 is more expensive than both. DDR266 is more expensive still, and so on, and so forth. Memory is still a commodity. People will try to differentiate it in the marketplace, but they will only have very limited success at best until a new form of non-volatile memory reaches the marketplace... and that will likely become a commodity in short order as well as the "newcomer" will want to become the "new standard."
