Capacity has been the biggest problem faced by SSDs, one technical limitations, the second is the cost issue, but thanks to Intel and Micron (Micron) technical cooperation, the next standard consumer-grade SSDs capacity of 10TB is not a problem.
Recently, Intel and Micron introduced the latest 3D NAND flash technology, and announced in the second half to volume production.
Intel and Micron executives said the new technology 3D NAND chips will be stacked 32 layers, enabling a single MLC flash chip capacity up to 32GB (256Gb), single TLC was higher 48GB (384Gb), there is no a chip can do. At the same time, the new technology will enable higher productivity SSDs, and the cost per GB capacity is further reduced.
Although this technology is still in its infancy, but confirmed that the solid-state hard drive capacity to create at least three times today. For standard-sized 2.5-inch SATA hard drive capacity up to 10TB of space, but for most laptops M.2 type SSDs will be increased to 3.5TB.
"This new 3D NAND technology has the potential to change the market." Micron Brian Shirle vice president of storage technologies and solutions that the major impact of this technology on smart phones and even supercomputers just a matter of time.
Intel said the two companies together to create a 3D NAND chip has begun sampling will soon be mass production, expected later this year using the flash memory chips will begin to build a storage product sales, while Intel's own use of the new year, there are new NAND chips products.
In recent years, the rapid development of SSDs, most PC users have been aware of the impact on the performance of SSDs, but although the overall price decline, but the storage capacity is still far behind the traditional mechanical hard drives. With the new 3D NAND flash memory chips released, SSD density will be greatly increased, more solid-state hard drive capacity to meet user demand, while breakthrough technology also means lower costs and old technology.
