In Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, California Samsung, announced its first SSD at 16TB!
In addition to the monster of 16TB h company announced:
The 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 data, processors could perform a local processing, only hosting the data they need, while reducing network loads and latency.
Samsung technicians at cooperation with manufacturing companies 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 should develop vertically (vertical NAND), a sector that Samsung has a lead from 6 to 12 months compared to 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.
