SSD storage is set to use 1,000 layer memory chips by 2027, potentially offering 20 TB NVMe drives for under $300. Story by Nick Evanson • 1mo.

As it stands, KIOXIA's largest flash chips have 162 layers, with 218-layer models coming soon. Samsung touted its 1000-layer 3D NAND flash for future-gen SSDs, which the South Korean memory giant ...

Still, on the surface it would seem that achieving 1,000-layer NAND is further out than just three years, but that is what Kioxia claimed at the international Solid-State Circuits Conference ...

Regardless, the company presented at a recent memory industry gathering where it laid out its plans, which include 1,000-layer NAND flash by 2027, according to the Japanese site PC Watch.

Stacking the independent strings allows a greater number of layers without having to process the full stack in one step. The tradeoff is that multiple steps are necessary. Source: Bryon ...

It’s no secret that the race is on to produce the first 1000TB SSD. At its Tech Day in 2022, Samsung revealed ambitious plans to “stack over 1,000 layers” in its most advanced NAND chip by ...

Samsung's 9th generation V-NAND uses 290 layers, so it's still far from its goal of 1,000 layers and petabyte capacity. Credit: Samsung ...

Samsung threw its 1,000-layer gauntlet down earlier this year, with 2030 declared as its deadline and now with Kioxia aiming for 2027, it looks like we won't have to wait too long before we see ...
