Samsung grows 64-layer 256Gb V-NAND line-up

Samsung will grow its 64-layer 256-Gigabit 3-bit V-NAND flashes to all NAND items including servers, PCs, and mobiles.

Samsung Electronics has extended the accessibility of its 64-layer, 256-Gigabit, 3-bit V-NAND from strong state drives to incorporate mobiles and PCs, the organization has declared. 

The fourth-era V-NAND will represent more than 50 percent of all NANDs created every month inside the year, the South Korean tech monster said. 

Samsung started providing 64-layer 256Gb V-NAND based SSDs to big business customers in January. It will now supply the SSDs for customers, and memory card and inserted Universal Flash Storage for versatile. 

Adversaries, for example, Toshiba are likewise get ready to supply 64-layer V-NAND, while SK Hynix, which as of now supplies 48 layers, will start providing 72 layers in the not so distant future. 

Samsung said its most recent NAND brags a 30 percent expansion in information exchange speed and vitality proficiency contrasted with its 48-layered antecedent. 

The organization said it has additionally obtained the center innovation to build the quantity of layers further. 

Three-dimensional vertical NANDs have turned into the accepted business standard, as stacking the cells takes into account higher memory limit than downsizing the pass on. 

Samsung was the first to make 3D NANDs when it started generation of 24-layer 128Gb multi-layer cell (MLC) 3D V-NAND in July 2013. The firm said it has procured more than 500 licenses in the innovation from 15 years of research. 

Its ruling position in NANDs has enabled the South Korean tech monster to harvest record benefits from its memory chip business.
