So have been quietly waiting for the SM951 NVMe SSD price to drop after brexit and then found this monster lurking in the listings -

Does memory count? There's some very interesting information in this article:

 

Hot Chips 2016: Memory Vendors Discuss Ideas for Future Memory Tech - DDR5, Cheap HBM, & More

 

Discussed are HBM3, DDR5, and GDDR5X/GDDR6.

 

Intel Launches 3D NAND SSDs For Client And Enterprise

 

But for the grand finale, I want to pull in some older articles:

 

Good gravy, Toshiba QLC flash chips are getting closer

Toshiba flashes 100TB QLC flash drive, may go on sale within months. Really

 

That's right. After a couple of years of hearing about 3D TLC NAND non-stop... f*** it, we're doing 4 bits per cell. QLC has only been used before in some high-density SD cards. I'm sure the write endurance is very low normally, but boosting the cell size due to 3D and adding dozens of layers must make it feasible.

 

On the layer counts, Samsung is going to 64 layers for 4th generation 3D NAND. 96-128 should be possible with today's technology, and the final ITRS report predicts up to 512 layers by 2030. You can stack at least 2 64-layer dies to get to 128 layers easily, rather than constructing a die with 96+ layers.

I dont think an SSD is worth it given they wear out a lot faster than a normal drive. I think the SSHD is a better solution of

speed to capacity.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
