I wanted to be the first to do this. Now I’m crying 96 tears.

The march of technology never ceases...

The relentless march of Moore's Law proves that we are actually working for the computers now.

One word son: “Graphene.”

QLC is new,...certainly to me ,...as well as BiCS4 chips.

What if the TLC interferes with the PDQ? Do they have to reprogram the VCR with NBA or can a CIA controler help with the DOA if there is no WTW? What about enabling the FDIC to follow MMORP protocols but without the CBO or MPH limits imposed by WTF systems to the MTR and the USDA? Alternately they could go with a full MBA or PhD protocol but use ADA assisted STTF stacking interpretation of the G4S driver agent as opposed to a EGBDF laddered setup.

Not being a true computer geek the posted article made about as much sense as what I’ve just written. I think, if I understand it right it is saying that Western Digital has created a solid state hard drive with more memory than was previously available. But, that’s just a guess.

Pretty amazing. Soon we’ll have TB SS drives the size of a matchbook.

...

Single CPU cores haven’t done much in the past ten years, though.

It’s good to see someone give Samsung some competition.

Hi.

I have a stupid question. How do you keep the chip and surrounding architecture cool?

Liquid nitrogen?

5.56mm

That made no sense at all. But it will be used in an E-mail or two in the near future. :D

Yes, so multi-core and multi-thread technology is growing in power and flexibility.

Basically they created a way to make cheap and fast high-capacity solid state disks (SSDs), with the tradeoff being less write endurance before it wears out. It can handle about 100-150 writes per cell before it goes kaput.

It’s a good candidate for archival SSDs that need fast retrieval capability.

SanDisk (acquired by Western Digital last year) produced a 4 bit NAND Flash cell (QLC) on their 43nm 2D Technology ~ 7 years ago. You can find some papers on it.

Obviously 4 Bit NAND on 3D stacks (BiCS) is going to be quite challenging. Kudos to their teams.

Soon the data connector and power plugin will be the largest part of the drive.

“Graphene” has been a fool’s errand for many years - any news article on graphene has ALWAYS included the qualifiers “hopefully, potential, et. al.”.
