Cell manufacturer, Toshiba has recently unveiled its solid state drive roadmap and, in addition to reiterating its plans to have 512GB drives for next year, the company has stated that it wants a big piece of the market. As stated, Toshiba wants to have no less than 50% of the notebook SSD market by 201 and 2011, a desire that's likely very hard to achieve since there are a ton of manufacturers ready and willing to compete. According to Atsutoshi Nishida, Toshiba's CEO, the company's strength, and the thing that will make it reach the goal is its advancement in multi-layer NAND flash chip manufacturing.

The predictions see the SSD share in notebook storage to be at around 10% in 2010 and 25% in 2011 so Toshiba again has its work cut out.
