DRAMeXchange Experts, the research division TrendForce, identified two main vector of development of solid-state drives in 2014: first, the most productive SSD will exclusively use interface PCI Express 2.0, and secondly, memories of elementary and secondary level will be equipped with flash memory TLC .
Interface SATA 6Gb / s provides a theoretical bandwidth as it may seem, 600 MB / s, while the use of two lines PCI Express 2.0 allows to accelerate up to 1000 MB / s, and four - respectively to 2000 MB / s. SSDs with support for PCI Express is used in mobile computers Apple, an example of which usually infects and other manufacturers. Additionally, support for PCI Express drives cultivated by Intel.
Despite concerns about the length of life, based on memory drives TLC able to compete with hybrid storage devices and solutions for caching value for money and efficiency. Researchers believe that competition is the memory TLC with other formats will skyrocket, especially in the entry-level products.
