Science Channel to feature Micron SSDs in its "How It's Made" series

The Science Channel's upcoming "How It's Made" series will feature an inside look at Micron's SSD factories

For those interested in the making of solid state drives, you will be happy to know Science Channel's long running "How It's Made" series is airing episode 285. Episode 285 features a peek inside the factories of Micron and the making of the M500 SSD among others.

For those of you in the eastern time zone, the episode will be airing at midnight tonight, along with an additional time slot at 4am tomorrow morning January 3rd. Being that the time slots are rather late it may be one of those times your DVR comes in handy.

:hmm:
I checked my TiVo and HIM doesn't come on at midnight in EST. A few episodes start at 3:00 AM, which is midnight on the west coast (PST). Also, the synopsis for that 3:00 AM episode didn't say anything about Micron, SSDs, or hard drives.

Robots make flash memory, robots put flash memory on pcb, robots ship ssd to customer.

Fixt.

Seriously though, I like that show a lot. Still not worth getting cable. Does it stream through Netflix or something?

Pretty much. Maybe they'll show some electron microscope QA stuff.

I'm pretty sure it was midnight, last night. Sucks because I would have tuned in.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want C3PO putting together my SSD's.

He just isn't together enough for that type of work.

Thanks. I missed when it originally aired.

I already saw the OCZ episode of How It's Made, where they basically operate from the back of a truck on the side of the highway.
