Scientists from the University of Lancaster report that we are close to combining SSD and RAM into one component. "UltraRAM," as it is called, is described as a memory technology that "combines the immutability of a data storage memory, such as flash, with the speed, energy efficiency, and durability of a working memory such as DRAM." 
The researchers report in detail their discovery in a recently published work.
The fundamental science behind UltraRAM technology is that uses τις μοναδικές ιδιότητες των σύνθετων ημιαγωγών, που χρησιμοποιούνται συνήθως σε φωτονικές Appliances such as LEDs, lasers and infrared detectors that can now be mass-produced in a cell.
The upcoming UltraRAM will offer "data storage times of at least 1.000 years." The fast data switching speed, and resistance to cyclic erasures will be "a hundred to a thousand times better than flash drives". Add these qualities to the speed, energy efficiency and durability that DRAM has. So the new type of memory will be very hard to ignore by the Companies technology.
UltraRAM envisions breaking the gap between RAM and storage. So, in theory, you could use it as a solution to meet very separate requirements. In a system computer, this would mean that with an UltraRAM, say at 2 TB, you'll be able to meet your RAM needs as well as your storage needs.
