We just announced 34nm SLC and MLC Enterprise NAND parts that can hit 300,000 and 30,000 cycles, respectively. These new parts deliver unmatched density, cost-efficiency, and reliability and will open up new potential for NAND storage in enterprise applications. Watch my quick explanation and understand why.
There has been quite a buzz in the industry lately about NAND flash products that are capable of storing more than two bits per cell, so I wanted to just take a minute and provide our perspective. Simply put–what ultimately matters is having the lowest cost-per-bit solution in volume production at a given moment in [...]
Hey guys. The MAST folks asked me to get the blog up to speed on a very exciting announcement—our Enterprise NAND. In a nutshell, Enterprise NAND is a very high endurance SLC NAND device. It has a write/erase cycle endurance of 1 million cycles. Seriously cool–that’s 10X standard NAND. So, what does it mean? Well, [...]
Unlike an SSD that has a measured and graceful life span–with time to coordinate a retirement, HDDs often die with absolutely no warning. And this traumatic event often takes our most valuable information to the grave. Our fifth “Counseling Session” video allows us to lament with poor HDD, as he mourns the nature of his [...]
HDDs crash. We’ve all experienced it. In fact, in the largest study of its kind, Google found that HDDs crash even more often than their manufacturers predict … and once an HDD has demonstrated an error, it’s likely to fail again–soon. In this third installment of our ”Counseling Sessions“ videos, we continue to have a [...]
We talk a lot about the things that differentiate solid state storage from traditional spinning platters—be it at the enterprise level or in the laptop right in front of me. Perhaps as a relief to that intense level of focus, we made a series of videos to have some fun with the performance issues in [...]
