Apple has been thinking about buying the Israeli flash storage company, Anobit, for about $400 - $500 Million!
Apple is so needing to increase their amount of flash memory storage in their devices as the iPhone, iPad and MacBook!
As Anobit represent itself:
Anobit provides flash storage solutions for the Enterprise and Mobile markets. It's MSP™ (Memory Signal Processing) technology significantly improves the endurance, performance and cost of flash storage products and systems. Anobit's products are used by world leading flash manufacturers, consumer electronics vendors and storage system providers.
As Storage-Switzerland describes Anobit:
Anobit’s MSP uses digital signal processing technologies to pull more intelligence out of the NAND flash and provide a deeper insight about the condition of the substrate. This gives them to ability to better distinguish bit errors and to know when a cell has reached a point where it won't reliably store data. This is long past the point that traditional error correction code (ECC) technologies (used by the flash industry at large) is still effective.
Essentially this means they can detect flash problems in flash cells when they're much older, allowing them to extend the usable life of MLC flash significantly longer than other manufacturers. The net of this ability is Anobit's flash products have much longer endurance than comparable products from other vendors. They claim commercial-grade MLC endurance comparable to that of SLC flash from other manufacturers. Theoretically, this would enable users to replace SLC flash with the more economical MLC products.
