3D SSDs with 10TB storage announced

 Intel and Toshiba 3D SSDs with 10TB storage announced at affordable prices 


   The upcoming SSDs (Solid State Drives) will be much richer in terms of storage efficiency. The major obstacle which inhibits the sale of these SSDs is their price. But still being aware of this challenge, Intel and Micron have said that new SSDs with storage capacity up to 10TB will be soon in market, possibly by next year. Whereas Toshiba has been working on the development of similar technology  called "3D NAND" which too will come with higher storage capacity. Consequently Flash Storage Devices and SSDs will get cheaper with increasing storage capacity. Let us know more about both these invention respectively:

Intel and Micron


Intel and Micron has revealed that 3D NAND technology will be providing three times more storage efficiency than any other existing NAND technology. This technology uses floating gate cells that make it the
flash drive with highest density.
In this 3D NAND technology, data storage cells are stored vertically with an exceptional accuracy to create storage devices with three times more efficiency.
Apart from decreased cost and high efficiency, new 3D SSDs will be faster.

Toshiba


Toshiba has said that it is the creator of world's first 48 layer NAND 3D SSD. Tokyo based Toshiba corporation has called this BiCS- a 2-bit-per-cell 16GB device. The BiCS uses 48 layer stacking process with reliability and speed. Right now company is speeding up for its mass production and also distributing samples to other companies.

These 3D SSDs will be tough competitors for the existing players thereby providing  greater speed along with better storage capacity.
