As of 2007, NAND has partially achieved this goal by offering throughput comparable to hard disks, higher tolerance of physical shock, extreme miniaturization (in the form of USB flash drives and tiny microSD memory cards, for example), and much lower power consumption.
Od 2007, NAND je delimično ostavario taj cilj i poredio se sa tvrdim diskom, nudeći veću toleranciju fizičkog šoka, ekstremne minijaturizacije (u obliku USB flash diskova i sitnih microSD memorijskih kartica, na primer) i mnogo manju potošnju energije.
