CTOnews.com August 10 news, yesterday, Samsung issued a press release as part of its 2023 flash summit, which mentioned a few details of the 256TB SSD being developed by South Korea's Chaebol, and foreign media techradar unearthed more news today.

▲ Tooyuan Samsung reported that Yong Ho Song, chief executive of Samsung memory Solutions products and Development, "announced the latest breakthrough in 256TB SSD, with an unprecedented level of integration density." The SSD is based on QLC and is designed for ultra-large scale and enterprises.

"although the amount of data stored is the same, the power consumption of Samsung 256TB SSD is reduced to 1/8 compared with eight 32TB SSD," the press release said.

Foreign media said that Samsung currently has an eighth-generation V-NAND with 236 layers of 1Tb capacity, which was released in November 2022, when Samsung claimed that its bit density was the highest in the industry. If 256TB SSD uses this flash memory, it means that at least 500 1Tb (128GB) will be crammed into the SSD, so it may be 3.5in or 2.5in size.

Solid state drive (SSD) has occupied almost the entire field of consumer technology because of its faster speed and lower and lower prices. Mechanical hard drives (HDD) still have a place in markets that require high-capacity storage, such as data centers, but a number of SSD manufacturers in the industry are eyeing this cake covetously.

As previously reported by CTOnews.com, Pure Storage, a company that makes all-flash array (AFA) SSD based on DirectFlash modules (DFM), said it would launch 300TB NVMe SSD by 2025-2026.
