MLC NAND memory has become a landmark for the industry: it is connected with it the beginning of the mass distribution of SSD-drives. But it is now an obstacle: the cost of its production with modern technology is beyond the clouds. Given the investment in the development and production of manufacturers go a step already taken place once when was carried out transition to a more dense arrangement of data from the SLC (one bit per cell) to the MLC (two bits per cell). Now proceeds to TLC (three bits per cell).
TrendFocus research company report, the first MLC NAND will appear in the coming months.
Trends in the supply of flash memory such that by the autumn ratio memory types will change in favor of exactly TLC NAND: more than 50% of the market now will belong to it. So far, the TLC vengeance is mainly used only in memory cards and USB-stick. But some companies are already trying to use it in smartphones.
Samsung is now the leading manufacturer in terms of volume and persevere future prospects. And looking at the example of Samsung, SanDisk alliances with Toshiba and Intel with Micron also making efforts in this direction. Preparing for the growth in volumes and new experiments. Related Products :
