- wtallis 7y agoSamsung's "Z-NAND" is a latency-optimized 3D SLC NAND, which uses smaller page and block sizes than their capacity-oriented mainstream 3D NAND. The Samsung 983 ZET, SZ983 and SZ985 are drives using that memory. Kioxia (formerly Toshiba) is sampling their version of the same basic idea, and SSDs using that memory should be coming out during the next few months. Intel has of course replaced SLC NAND with their 3D XPoint memory, which is about twice the price but can sustain better write speeds because it doesn't have flash memory's slow block erase operations.
