Administrator DKT27 Posted February 17, 2016 Administrator Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks to Micron 3D NAND Chipzilla is offering a 10TB SSD, thanks to Micron's 3D NAND flash. Samsung and Toshiba already make use of 3D NAND flash technology in their SSDs, but neither have hit the 10TB. Until now the largest SSD that Intel offers has 4TB of storage. Micron claims its 3D NAND allows for capacities of 256Gb for multilevel cell (MLC) and 384Gb triple-level cell (TLC) 3D NAND, and "enable 3.5TB gum stick-sized SSDs or more than 10TB in standard 2.5-inch SSDs." 3D NAND also offers significantly higher read/write bandwidth and I/O speeds, as well as power savings thanks to its new sleep mode feature that allows the power to be cut to inactive NAND, even when other chips in the same die are active. However Intel's effort is not the largest SSD you can find Fixstars offers a 13TB SSD that offers sequential read speeds of 580MBps and write speeds up to 520MBps. Of course it will set you back a bit. At $1 per gigabyte it means it is a $13,000 drive. Intel's effort will be cheaper because it is using its mass-production technques to get economies of scale. However there is no word on an official price yet. View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylence Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Are these new SSDs still the same that when inactive for a week or two they begin to lose data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vibranium Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I haven't heard a week or two. IIRC it was at least a few months in a totally zero power state. http://www.anandtech.com/show/9248/the-truth-about-ssd-data-retention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An enterprise drive stored at 25C and operated at 40C has a retention rate of just 20 weeks. In worst-case scenarios or high storage temps, the data on an enterprise drive can start to fail within seven days. 3D NAND, which uses an older manufacturing process, might rate better in such metrics, but JEDEC doesn’t include that information.

Their selective reading of the JEDEC table was busted in the Anandtech article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
