In Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, of California Samsung announced its first 16TB SSD!
In addition to the 16TB monster, the company announced:
48 layer, 256Gbit (32GB) vertical NAND flash chip (vertical NAND).
As we mentioned earlier on the biggest disc in the world - almost on 16TB
The fastest disk in the world - 1.000.000 IOPS
An 2U box with a capacity above 700TB - with about 15PB in a single shelf.
And the continuation of the company's initiative to develop smart drives.
The latest announcement is the most important. Modern hard drives contain powerful CPUs that can do much more than managing blogs from bits.
Instead of transferring the data processors could perform a local processing, hosting only the data they need, while reducing network loads and latency.
Samsung technicians in collaboration with manufacturers Companies they can develop APIs to enable these functions.
Because the flash is essentially a proportional storage medium, the continued shrinking of storage spaces is not feasible. To increase capacity, manufacturers will have to develop vertical NAND, an area where Samsung has a 6- to 12-month lead over its competitors (see Toshiba and Intel/Micron).
The big and fast moves are the technical acrobatics made possible with the vertical NAND (vertical NAND) of the company from South Korea.
