SSDs could use 1K layer chips by 2027, maybe allowing 20 TB drives for <$300
- magicalhippo 2y agoThe linked-to articles[1][2] have some more details, and both sources seem to indicate a simultaneous move to QLC or beyond. So I guess this would be more for relatively cold storage than pure performance. Still great though, I'd love to swap out the spinning rust in my NAS with some SSD at the suggested price point, even if the performance was the same. It's been fairly obvious that SSDs would surpass HDDs in density just due to 3D vs 2D. Guess we're getting real close now.
