Fujio Masuoka -The Inventor of Flash Memory

In my wanderings at the Flash Memory Summit website, I found this interesting link to a Business Week magazine article about the inventor of flash memory, Fujio Masuoka. He was just a midlevel factory manager for Toshiba when he took on this project.

What is interesting about this article is that Masuoka actually intended Flash Memory as a replacement storage for hard disk drives. In the midst of the potential issues being cried out against hybrid-hard drives, this is what Masuoka actually intended for flash memory devices.
