The SSD industry is shifting from 34nm NAND in favor of the smaller chips, in part to rising costs as manufacturers scale back production of the older flash. Sure, the smaller NAND takes up less space and allow for (eventually) larger capacity SSDs - but the big deal is price, currently 25nm NAND costs 10-15% less than 34nm NAND. The topic is critical at just this moment because even though OCZ was first to launch 25nm SSDs, more drives are coming as early as this week, and SSD buyers need the inside scoop on how the SSD industry is changing.
