Innodisk Releases World First 1.5 gram SATA µSSDs

Uhh why is it called the nano-SSD? That greek symbol mu means micro.

These things are just begging to be used in a RAID0 array.

It uses the SATA interface, instead of the SD card interface. Different signalling.

Also, it's designed to be permanently soldered to the PCB - like an eMMC chip.

Yes but the PCB doesn't need to mean that it is the motherboard of an embedded system. It could be the control board of a hard drive or a SATA expansion module.

But when I think about it, I'm not sure of the meaning of the embedded SATA controller if the chip is supposed to be on a SATA module. If you use several of these chips on such a module, then a controller that handles the separate chips must be included anyway. Perhaps a microPCIe module would include say an 8-channel SAS/SATAIII controller and 8 of these chips in a raid configuration.

Great. So future notebooks are going to have non-replaceable storage too.
So what happens when you get to the end of your P/E cycles?

you dont. it takes too long to fill them up before you replace the entire rig any ways

I could burn through 64GB SSD's P/E cycles in a week if I wanted to
