"However, according to recent reports, DRAM prices have shown strengthening and manufacturers have adjusted their capacity to match demand and reduce their inventory levels. DRAM is expected to fare much better in 2012 on the back of renewed demand for low power DRAMs from ultrabooks and other mobile devices market."

early market leader in solid state drives...good time to buy under $10.00

We have a double-dip buying opportunity in front of us here, after two consecutive quarters of reticent short-term guidance but an intact long-term growth story.

This stock has gotten back to being a good value at under $10.

Great fundamentals.

No debt, insider buying, good p/e=9 and p/s=1.31. Would me more comfortable after 10-20% drop though.

People is obssessed with speed. From Formula One to Intel Processor. And this big trend won't be affected by the market flurry.

STEC is still the best within the group. And their relatively small size means they are also a potential acquisition target.

With the recent slump, I am in with the real money

It's that thing, you know, that THING...

Faster, Cheaper, Quieter and more (yes, reliable too) ... is the needs of data storage today. STEC with their multiple decades of storage related experience and proven (time and field tested) technology platform is a leader/key-player in this growing industry segment. They will do well even as an independent company; however, they are more likely to be acquired by a larger player sooner or later...

Steve Jobs likes SSD technology. STEC is the industry leader.

stec is back on track but they burned so many in the past that it will take another quarter or two for the believers to start believing again.....but stec is coming back.

As enterprise companies start replacing their storage systems to expand capacity and replace old storage devices, SS storage devices are going to take off.

smart is better in products

SSDs have greatly improved performance over traditional harddrives. Especially for mobile applications. Power consumption, weight, and noise are reduced dramatically. While speed is turbo charged. In the next few years as they become less expensive they will become the staple. Increasing performance both for computer speed and battery life because of their lowered power consumption.

Storage Market continues to grow.
