This Super-High Density Flash Storage Will Cram More Storage Into Your SSD

-Jamie Condliffe

Samsung has been trying to squeeze as much storage as it can into its latest flash chips, and it's done a good job: these 128-gigabit chunks of siliocn are, apparently, the industry's highest density memory storage available.

The new chips use super-compact three-bit multi-level-cell, 10 nanometer process technology to pack the storage in. Sounds awful, but really it just means that these chips manage to squeeze more memory into the same dimensions as usual flash storage.

The high density doesn't just make these things compact, either: they can swap data at a lightning fast 400 megabits-per-second. The new chips will feature in a range of new, high-capacity memory cards and SSDs in the coming months

 

This is fascinating. The rapid advances in memory chip capacities is driving the development of ever higher data storage. We are now looking at zettabyte memories on the horizon.

 

Any word on price?

Or are we just waiting for it to "trend" and become the new "standard" so that in 20 years the newest form of data storage will be costly all over again?

 

Both lol
