Solid state drives in Netbooks & RAM

Hey guys... I was wondering those "solid state drives" that they put in the Netbooks (notebooks, but much smaller where there is not always enough space for an HDD) so these drives and the RAM - they are still semiconductors based. So why is that the flash memory has a life cycle and these don't? Or am I wrong? Do they have a life cycle as well?

heres a solid state drive

well every component has a lifecycle of some sort even if its not a given one
for example:

"Intel® X25-E Extreme SATA Solid-State Drive"

"These Intel drives also feature low write amplification and a unique wear-leveling design for higher reliability, meaning Intel drives not only perform better - they last longer."

there is no given ware out period just that they last longer if u read the product specs tho it states a MTBF (mean time before failure) of 2,000,000 hours

(the site for this particular example is http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/extreme/index.htm )

i know u all do your best and i thank you for your patience

India has recently opened up

India has recently opened up for possible large scale semiconductor manufacturing. Though India has been leading in the are of chip design it lacked manufacturing facilities. Its one of the fastest growing markets for electronic equipment and hence Semiconductors.

The Union Govt released an investor friendly Semi Conductor Policy on 22nd February, doling out a capital subsidy of up to 25% (22% if the unit is in an SEZ). The subsidy offered is in the form of tax breaks and interest-free loans. The Fab units located in SEZ would have the additional operating benefits under SEZ Policy! This is expected to fire up the competition to set up foundries in India. The exponential growth in mobile phone services, broadband, IP TV, digital cameras, MP3 Players, gaming devices etc is at present fully dependant on imports of semiconductors.
