Chinese memory company Longsys has announced the industry’s first integrated-packaging micro SSD (mSSD), a storage device that eliminates traditional printed circuit board (PCB) assembly through wafer-level System-in-Package (SiP) technology. The mSSD integrates the controller chip, NAND flash memory, power management integrated circuit (PMIC), and passive components such as resistors and.
TeamGroup has just announced the T-FORCE Z54E, a new PCIe 5.0 solid-state drive that, for the first time, uses Phison’s latest E28 controller. The drive targets the high-end consumer segment with sequential read speeds of up to 14,900 MB/s and write speeds reaching 14,000 MB/s in its 2TB and 4TB.
The NAND industry – and semiconductor industry as a whole – may be facing a prolonged supply constraint that could reshape technology costs for consumers and businesses alike. Pua Khein-Seng, CEO of Phison (a key producer of SSD controllers), has issued a troubling forecast suggesting that NAND flash memory shortages.
Samsung Electronics has now officially launched its highest-capacity PCIe 5.0 SSD to date with the introduction of the 8TB Samsung 9100 PRO and 9100 PRO with Heatsink, marking a significant milestone in consumer storage technology. The new drives join the existing 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB variants that debuted in March.
Every time you save a document, take a photo, or download an app on your computer, smartphone, or tablet, you’re relying on an amazing piece of technology: the floating gate transistor. These are the fundamental building blocks of NAND flash memory, the storage medium that powers modern solid-state drives (SSDs)..
As you have probably noticed, SSDs come in many flavors in the form of interfaces and form factors. When buying a new SSD online, you will encounter technical terms like M.2, SATA, 2.5″, PCIe, NVMe, and quite a few others. The simple, fun and informative solution is to read this.
To understand wear leveling in SSDs, we need to take a quick look at of how NAND Flash memory works: Data is stored inside the cells in the NAND Flash chips in your solid-state drive. Depending on the type, these cells have a limited number of P/E (Program/Erase) cycles which,.
More than just memory chips on a PCB, solid state drives (SSDs) are complex systems that also require sophisticated management on the software site. This is where firmware comes in – a specialized set of software instructions embedded into the SSD’s controller. The firmware governs low-level operations such as wear.
TBW, standing for Total Bytes Written, is a metric used to estimate the endurance or lifespan of a Solid State Drive (SSD). It quantifies the total amount of data that can be written to the SSD before the NAND flash memory cells begin to wear out to a degree that.
A central part of any SSDs is where it actually stores data, which is typically on NAND Flash memory modules. There are other, similar types of memory modules – such as the now-discontinued Intel and Micron’s 3D Xpoint – but today NAND Flash completely dominates the market. But what is.
