Among all the PC components that we can find, the devices that store our data are among those that are the most behind the others, and we are not talking about speeds, but about storage. And one of the biggest problems currently is the fact that the fastest storage units do not offer very high sizes, but this time Kioxia presented the solution to create SSD disks that they will reach the 16 tuberculosis.
The programs and folders that we want to store occupy more and more space, and although for some types of files we do not need as much space as speed, there are applications that require both to be in phase. If we take the example of games, we increasingly see that they occupy more and more space, but at the same time they require higher speeds in the storage unit to speed up loading, and this is currently a problem, not only because of the maximum space it requires. They offer the fastest units on the market, but also for their price.
M.2 drives over 4TB are getting closer
A few years ago I thought about having a SSD disk which was able to store 1 to 4 TB With transfer speeds that allow you to move a large file in seconds, this seemed like a big step to us, but as components evolve, so do the demands of programs, applications, and files. Currently, one of the storage standards that can be found in most computers is 1TB, but the bigger problem is that there is a growing need to increase the storage of SSDs (and also reduce their price).
This time, Kioxia presented its new 2TB 3D QLC NAND components, which seek to change the operation of SSDs that can be found on the market, allowing higher speeds, lower latency and storage that quadruples the current maximum that formatted devices have. M.2. In this case, the 2TB 3D QLC NAND devices of this brand use the 218-layer BiCS8 technology, which offers an interface speed of 3,600 MT/s, placing them among the fastest flash memories in the world.
But speed and storage capacity are not the only strong point of these elements, and they also offer 70% energy efficiency compared to memories based on the BiCS5 node.
Kioxia’s strong point is the speed of its flash memories
If you have ever seen a Kioxia product, you will have immediately recognized that they have some of the fastest units on the market, which allows them to be on a very different level from other brands, offering products of great quality and durability at an affordable price. quite reduced price. Now, in addition to having presented their new flash memories that will allow the creation of 16TB units, they have also presented the 1TB QLC 3D NAND optimized to offer the best possible performance.
The factors that make the 1TB QLC one of the fastest we can find are that it offers 30% higher sequential write performance and 15% lower read latency.
